Soviet Military Mobilises
The Soviet Military has been mobilised and there have been reports of tanks and all kinds of military hardware shifted to the South-Western border.

“Do not be alarmed, this is merely a standard military exercise to test our capabilities. The war games will proceed for the next few weeks. There is nothing untoward going on,” says one government spokesman

“It is time for us to welcome our Finnish brethrens back into the fold. We are no longer under the rule of one Joseph Stalin. There is nothing to fear from the motherland. We offer protection, security and a better life.”-Nikita Khrushchev
