"This is Tommy Fourever, here as always every night with the latest headlines from about the globe."
"The United States military has almost finished its evacuation of the Korean Peninsula. As American units withdrew from the South Korean city of Seoul, thousands of refugees fled south with the retreating units, hindering the retreat. Despite American persistence on the danger of traveling with the military convoy, civilians continued to ignore the advice and carry on south. This would have its toll on many over the weeks. The Soviets, who were right on the tails of the American units, cared little to distinguish between enemy and civilian. Civilians soon found themselves in the crossfires between American forces and the Red Army as both sides attempted to delay the other. Soviet aircraft attacks strafed the military and other alike, which has drawn major criticism from the Axis states. The Soviet Union relies heavily on the Axis states for oil imports, as well as some of the specialized equipment required to make accurate gunsights and air to air missiles on their aircraft. More so then ever, the Soviet Union's ignorance may prove to be costly in the future."
"In the United States, Democracy has proven to not care whether or not the host state is at war or not. The recent election, which pit Democrat leader John F. Kennedy against Republican leader Richard M. Nixon, has resulted in Kennedy assuming the power of the state and thus becoming the United State's 35th President. Kennedy is seen to be more lenient towards left-wing sympathizers, and is suspected to be a better candidate for securing peace with the Soviet Union. However, his attitudes towards right-wing politicians has many in that political spectrum feeling nervous. His feelings towards Germany and the Axis states are anything but friendly, and may server to damage the relations that the former President Eisenhower spent his term trying to mend."
"Australian battles seem to have come to a lull as both sides prepare for their next combat operations. Chicago Pact forces have been redeployed to the continent in large numbers, where nearly 1 million Pact soldiers have already been assembled to meet the Red Army's presence. The US military says it hopes to put another 500,000 men on the continent over the next half-year. The Red Army is falling short on military manpower, as Beria struggles to contain the wide-spread discontent with his government that is plaguing south and south-west Asia. The political resistance movement, which covers the Indian and Chinese populations, has recently engaged in violent attack on Russian-appointed 'rulers' of these regions, with 4 high-ranking officials having been killed over the past few weeks. Beria has been rapidly losing control of the Soviet Union since the war, in which much of the Russian-Soviets were deployed overseas."
