History of Sorts

Prologue:
In the early hours of a frigid November morning, the citizens of Nome, Alaska, awoke to an unprecedented sight: Russian naval vessels looming on the icy horizon. Within hours, paratroopers descended upon strategic locations along the Alaskan coastline, cutting off communications and seizing key infrastructure. It was the beginning of an audacious invasion that no one had anticipated—or, at least, that no one in power had taken seriously until it was too late.

The Invasion:
Using the cover of a massive Arctic storm, Russian forces executed a swift and brutal operation. The first to fall were the remote U.S. radar stations along the Bering Strait. Russian cyber forces simultaneously crippled NORAD’s monitoring capabilities, leaving American forces blind to the attack’s full scale. The governor of Alaska declared a state of emergency, but Washington was slow to react. By the time the U.S. military mobilized, Russian forces had entrenched themselves along the Alaskan coast, establishing control over key oil refineries and ports.

President Trump aka Comrade Trumpski , facing mounting pressure from an unprepared Pentagon and an enraged public, called for an emergency NATO meeting. But the alliance hesitated—this was American soil, not Europe, and direct military action risked igniting World War III. Meanwhile, in Moscow, Vladimir Putin made his demands clear: Russian control over Alaska’s oil reserves, or further escalation.

The Deal:
President Donald Trump. having maintained a strong personal rapport with Putin during his presidency, Trump emerged from his Florida estate to propose a controversial backchannel negotiation. Despite his lack of real power, Trump offered to mediate, because Elon Musk had technically taken over ,a proposition that alarmed both the White House and the intelligence community.

Behind closed doors, a deal was struck. The United States, under immense pressure, agreed to a shocking compromise: Russia would withdraw most of its forces, but a new joint U.S.-Russian oil enterprise would be established, giving Moscow a significant stake in Alaska’s petroleum industry. In exchange, Putin agreed to halt hostilities, withdraw his troops, and recognize U.S. sovereignty over Alaska—at least, on paper.

The Aftermath:
The deal ignited outrage in Congress, with accusations of treason and capitulation flying from both sides of the aisle. But the markets stabilized, the war drums quieted, and the world stepped back from the brink of nuclear confrontation. Trump, ever the dealmaker, claimed victory, boasting of a ‘peaceful resolution’ that ‘saved American lives.’ Putin, meanwhile, had secured a foothold in the U.S. energy sector without firing another shot.

Though the immediate crisis ended, the geopolitical landscape had changed forever. American hegemony had been shaken, and the ghost of Alaska’s Russian past loomed over its uncertain future. In the cold, unforgiving tundra, the battle for power was far from over.

THIS IS A FICTIONAL STORY, BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE IT COULD BE COME A REALITY
