White House – Press Briefing Room

The room was packed. Journalists from around the world filled the seats, cameras rolling as they awaited President Christopher Blackwood's statement. The tension in the air was thick—everyone knew this wasn't just another speech.

Chris stepped up to the podium, his expression firm, his presence commanding. Ethan stood at the side, arms crossed, while the National Security Advisor and Secretary of Defense flanked him.

He adjusted the microphone and spoke with unwavering authority.

"The world stands at a crossroads. We have seen history repeat itself far too many times—nations testing the limits of power, ignoring international laws, and threatening global stability."

He leaned forward slightly, letting his words carry weight.

"Let me be clear—Russia's military buildup along the Ukrainian border is not an act of defense. It is an act of provocation. A calculated move to intimidate, destabilize, and challenge the global order."

He paused, letting the words settle. The entire world was watching.

"The United States, along with our allies, will not tolerate this aggression."

Cameras flashed. Reporters whispered among themselves.

"I am issuing a direct warning to President Petrov and the Russian Federation: Remove your troops from the Ukrainian border immediately. Failure to do so will have consequences—economic, diplomatic, and military. The world is watching, and so am I."

Silence. The weight of his words echoed through the room.

Then—chaos. Reporters scrambled to ask questions, news stations went into emergency broadcasts, and within minutes, Chris's warning was the top headline across the world.

The warning played on a massive screen inside the Kremlin. President Viktor Petrov watched, his jaw clenched. The entire world had just witnessed Christopher Blackwood challenge him.

His Defense Minister shifted nervously. "Sir, if we back down now, we look weak."

Petrov's grip on his chair tightened. "And if we don't?"

His intelligence chief sighed. "Then we go to war."

Silence. The fate of the world hung in the balance.

And in Washington, Christopher Blackwood had already made his next move.
