You will be kicked out for that. And please don't use nukes. There really just game enders and things are no fun when everyone is threatening to push the nuke button. So keep it clean.

Anyway, let's get started with some world issues. Things will heat up fast.

The twelve DEVGRU Seals fast roped quickly out of the SH-60, and quickly walked towards the hatch of the Ohio-Class Guided Missile Sub. One of the Seals pulled out of small blowtorch, and cut the top of the hatch, before dropping tear gas and flash bangs, blinding and disorienting anyone inside, including the shooters. The Seals jumped down the hatch, and tackled two of the mutineers before shooting another.

"Sub secured. Hostages clear." Said the Seal Commander as he climbed the hatch back up.

In other news the French president along with his fellow heads of state from Belgium, Luxembourg,and the Netherlands are speaking at the European parliament today voicing yet again calls for European unity in the face of global uncertainty, going as far as to launch social media campaigns to rally support for the idea in all EU member countries spearheaded by this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2WrMY_1bMU

Terrorism in the middle east, growing radical Islam around the world, economic uncertainty and the looming shadow of Russia. We have a million problems, problems that we can... no, need to solve together not as a union of nations, but as one nation, one people, one Europe. That is way here now the people of France, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands announce the beginning of the European Federation. I know this sounds like a big step and it is but don't believe for a second it is complicated, Our common EU membership gives use one currency, one economy and no borders, our common NATO membership has already integrated our armed forces and should easily be combined into one European military. The details will be dealt with in due time, but as our flags are lower tonight I do not want people to feel lose for their nation, but hope that when the flag of Europe flies tomorrow we will all know hope.

The Taliban claimed over 500 Taliban or Taliban-affiliated fighters had crossed into Turkey via volatile Iraq. Kurd authorities in Hakkari activated local peshmerga militias and stated that close to 700 peshmerga fighters would be fully operational in a matter of days. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan stated that he supported the Kurdish response to the crisis and that he was authorizing an air campaign over the Cukurca district of Hakkari province, and that the 15th Infantry Division would be deployed to the province to assist in rooting out the insurgents. Over the past twelve hours several sorties have already been completed by the Turkish Air Force. Taliban casualties have not yet been confirmed.

President Andrejs Gailis has made several statements today in a sunrises press conference. Much of what was said may change the balance of the world.
His fist address was to the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin. "Mister Putin we in Latvia have taken notice to the mess you have caused in the Ukraine. Not only are you invading foreign land you are insulting all of Europe by assuming that your actions and your rebels will go unchecked. If you want to do some good and show the world that you are truly sorry for the deaths of Malaysian flight 17. You will tell your terrorist pawns to give the body's of the diseased to UN officials for examination and then proper burial. You have twelve hours to accomplish this or I will take matters into my own hands by deploying Latvian forces to the crash Site to retrieve the body's. And from there if we are stopped or interrupted by any of your rebels, they will not last long against a professional army. I assure you. Mister Putin, you have twelve hours."

He also went on to say that we will be pulling all troops out of all other conflicts and peace keeping missions in the world. This includes Georgia, Afghanistan, Macedonia, Bosnia and, Kosovo.

After these statements President Andrejs Gailis formally invited the leaders of Lithuania and Estonia to be involved in a joint conference. Any other nation leaders that wish to oversee the meeting may join but will likely not be allowed to participate in the contents of this meeting.

And lastly President Andrejs Gailis addressed President Barack Obama of the United States of America, "- We would like to extend our hand in permanent peace and friendship to our great friends to the west and invite you to a separate set of negotiations in the near future -"

There are many who speculate what these meanings mean but one thing is for sure. Change, is coming. This has been Athena of Latvia News Network.

North Korea Takes Complaint About Assassination Movie to White House.

[Organized States]

Lielvārde Air Base, Latvia

6 MH-X Silent Hawks, stealth helicopters similar to those used in Operation Geronimo in 2011, of 160th SOAR sat parked on the flight line, next to 4 F-22s, a KC-10, and 3 CH-47X (a stealthy version of the CH-47 Chinook), loaded with SFOD-D and DEVGRU operators and their Latvian counterparts. The stealthy fleet of aircraft, was to evade any, twitchy Ukrainians, government and rebel alike. The helicopters started lifting off of the tarmac with rapid speed coming out of their 5 bladed rotors.

"Alright boys, this is our target, one of the Flight Data Recorders/Cockpit Voice Recorders, I don't really care as long as it pleases the eggheads back in Washington." Said Major Robinson as he stood up in the Silent Hawk and held onto the handle, clenching his M416A6.

"Yes, sir." Came the muffled reply from the operators.

"Go, Go, Go!" as the Delta and DEVGRU operators fast roped out of the stealth helicopters quickly into the building below.

"Clear left!"

"Clear right!"

"Contact Front!"

"ДЕРЬМО! ДЕРЬМО!" yelled a man stumbling as he tried to grab an AKM on the floor before catching three 5.56mm rounds in his center mass. The Special Forces Operators moved forward into the Donetsk RSA building, the temporary headquarters for rebel groups in the area. The Delta Operators dealt with 6 more rebels before grabbing what they came for, the Flight Data Recorder.

The other three Silent Hawks set down and let out the Latvian Operators.

"iet! iet!" Yelled the SOAR pilot, signaling the Latvians to get out.

Dublin Airport, Dublin Ireland, July 26th, 2014

Cihan Arslan and his team of seven observers were greeted by the team of Latvian special forces as soon as they exited the main terminal. With English being the only language they could hope to have in common, Arslan approached a man who appeared to be the team leader and inquired about the remainder of the Latvian force in fluent but heavily accented English, as he had lived in the United States for several years. "We appreciate your taking the time to provide security," he said, "I hope my men and I will not be too much of a burden. We are all either currently in the Turkish Army or ex-Army, and we all have combat experience. We will do the best that we can, even though we are unarmed. Are you the leader of the Latvian contingent?"

Greetings,

Turkey is sending eight unarmed observers to Ireland to monitor the situation there. These observers have been sanctioned by Ireland, but if the situation escalates and more violent activity occurs, it may become necessary at times for the observers to enter Northern Ireland, which is British Territory. Therefore I need your permission for these Turkish observers (Guarded by Latvian forces) to enter Northern Ireland in order to monitor the situation there as well as in the Republic of Ireland. If the UK is allowing then Turkey would also like to mediate any talks that take place between the UK and Ireland.

Sincerely,

Recep Erdogan, Prime Minister of Turkey
