kneels, bowing over to kiss Ali Muhammad Tanvir’s feet. The senior staff watches the messenger wondering what event has started as foretold by their Prime Minister, who places his hands under the messenger’s chin,
“Rise, my son, tell us what wondrous event has you filled with Allah’s holy spirit.”
“Your Holiness, The Minor Satan has launched against the Great Satan, who has launched their weapons against the Minor Satan. Your plan to pit them against each other is working! Surely Allah has guided their fingers to press their launching buttons. The two Satans are killing each other. Their missiles are passing each other in space.”
Ali Muhammad Tanvir smiles standing, “My friends, I told you they would kill each other. When the dust settles, we will land on their beaches offering aid for those willing to convert to Islam. Soon, the flag of Allah will fly over the entire world. We are Allah’s witnesses to the beginning of the end of times. Soon, there won’t be any infidels left alive on Allah’s planet. Let us give praise to Allah for his holy guidance and plan. The Quran teaches us Allah is the master planner. LAA-ILLAHA ILLALLAH MOHAMMAD-UR-RASOOL ALLAH!”
Everyone in the room stands repeating his words, “LAA-ILLAHA ILLALLAH
MOHAMMAD-UR-RASOOL ALLAH”

When the bomb explodes in Moscow, the only Russian leader to survive is President Putin. He orders the General of Russia’s Strategic Rocket Forces to place all of Russia’s strategic weapons on war alert, hundreds of land based long range ballistic missiles are made ready for launch. Missile armed submarines are rushed to sea so they aren't lost in a follow-up attack. The Russian military high command assumes the crazy American President tried to decapitate the Russian leadership, they assume she thought starting a war with Russia would save her career by changing the news cycle and world’s focus.
Russian experts check the crater via satellite and drone, they’re able to confirm the yield is the same an American W-80-1 cruise missile nuclear warhead.
The Russian President looks at his staff with anger in his eyes,
“Do we have any tracking information for the attacking cruise missile?”
“No, sir. However, we know their Tomahawks can fly under our radar coverage. Their Tomahawks have the range to reach Moscow.”
“We have no proof the Americans fired it?”
“Mr. President, if they didn’t fire it, who did? Only the Chinese, the Americans, and we have weapons in this yield.”
“What about the Jews?”
“No one, except, maybe the Americans know what’s in their arsenal.”
“We’re going to learn that very soon.” Says a radar tech, “Israel just launched a massive attack against the Caliphate.”
Putin looks at the tech, “Could the Caliphate have attacked us?”
“Sir, if we assume the only weapons they have are the Pakistan inventory, none of their weapons are this large. They don’t have a delivery system to reach Moscow.”
President Putin tells the General of the Strategic Forces, “We’re going to show the stupid whore she can cut our head off and we’ll grow another, launch a counterforce attack. We’ll take down their ability to strike us again.”
“Sir, we’ll be ready in minutes.”
“Get on it. I want one missile targeted on the White House. That bitch tried to kill me, I want to return the favor and vaporize her.”
“Yes, sir. We have a missile boat off their coast, the flight time of her missile will be less than four minutes. They won’t be able to respond that quickly.”
“Order her to fire!”
“Yes, sir.”

America’s NORAD sensors flash a NUDENT (nuclear detention) in Moscow. The Commanding General is surprised and worried. He asks,
“Who launched against the Russians? Send them a message we didn’t fire it! What’s the yield?”
“Sir, prelim says
