Summoning Equestria (Hiatus)

Decision

=///Whitehouse, Washington D.C. 1200 hours\\\=

President Adam Wright was sitting at his desk in his oval room drinking a cup of coffee, he was not alone in the room, In front of him there were several secretaries and advisors from various state departments ranging from economics, education, military, and even homeland security.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward, not only because of the fact that all these people were squeezed into one small room but also because President Adam's face looked like a disappointed old man from Ohio.

But that's not the topic they're going to cover today, the reason they are all gathered here is to discuss what policies the United States will pursue in determining the future not only of the American people but the whole world.

The arrival of extraterrestrial life to Earth catches everyone off guard, no one expected that suddenly an alien continent would appear in the middle of the Pacific and throw the fragile global stability out the window.

Despite Princess Twilight's efforts in explaining to the world that Equestria and the Crystal Empire came in peace and had no ill intentions for the Earth yet, it doesn't mean that the world will immediately believe it and the world will return to normal and the old quote status will be reestablished like nothing ever happened.

The truth of the matter is that the emergence of Equestria and its sister nations completely and permanently changed the balance of power in the world.

Since the collapse of the Russian Federation due to the failure of their special military operation in Ukraine, their successor state, the Russian Confederation, almost totally demilitarized their military to reduce military spending to ease the economic effects of their recession, and also part of their informal agreement with western countries in freeing Russia from all the economic sanctions and embargoes they have suffered since the start of military operations.

Because of this, only two Superpower countries remain in the world, namely the USA and the People's Republic of China, Other countries such as the Republic of India, Nigeria, and Indonesia are only categorized as regional powers because of their limited influence in global geo-politics.

Equestria comes right in the middle of the time and location where a new cold war is about to begin.

Other factions such as the EU are also only middle powers at best due to the decline in the number of Europe's young population due to low fertility which slowly reduces their economic and military potential, and their dependence on American and NATO protection making things much worse.

Despite the constant immigration of immigrants from Africa and the Middle East and Germany's campaign to federalize Europe, this was not enough to prevent the decline of European influence in world politics which began at the end of the Second World War.

The President of the United States stands from his chair and looks out a window on the Whitehouse, when the aliens had left Washington D.C, it was argued what defensive system should be set up around the Equestrian continent which they named Ekuseru, some people wanted dozens and dozens of Frigates, Cruisers, Destroyers, and Aircraft carriers just ready to obliterate the ponies the second they start to show signs of aggressiveness, with every other type of weapon prepared to go (Including nuclear weapons).

Even the President must admit that this would be a phenomenal amount of firepower, but while this would have provided the best possible defense the cost to American taxpayers would be beyond belief.
