Behind the Scenes Story
Although the final destination for our time traveler is the year 802,702 AD, It all began on one unusually sunny afternoon in London in the year 2030, though the chill of winter still lingered in the air. That day marked the beginning of a catastrophic chain of events. Ukraine, reeling from the devastation of its capital in February,, launched a desperate and vengeful mission. Using Western supplied F-16 jets, each armed with four air-to-ground missiles, they targeted Russian munitions depots believed to house conventional weapons. Unfortunately, these “depots” contained the bulk of Putin’s tactical nuclear arsenal. Some called it a necessary retaliation; others, a suicidal endeavor. What no one could deny was the global, irreversible chaos that followed. NATO was paralyzed. NATO allies were in shock.
Putin didn't blink. He immediately retaliated by deploying supersonic nuclear weapons deep into Ukraine. His first strike was aimed at the Chernobyl power plant, sending shockwaves—both literally and figuratively —across the world. Russia’s longtime ally, North Korea, now unleashed, joined forces with Putin’s military, fighting to gain control of Ukraine. The alliance’s aggression escalated rapidly. The next blow came for the UNITED STATES and CANADA… from the skies. North Korea launched four intercontinental ballistic missiles, each carrying multiple nuclear warheads capable of destruction on a scale not seen since Hiroshima….
