Thomas McKenna

Thomas McKenna was an American politician who served as President of the United States. In 1987, President McKenna was faced with a crisis after Soviet forces seized an Alaskan NORAD facility in response to a grain embargo imposed by the West. While mobilising troops to retake the facility, McKenna met with Soviet Premier Gorny in Iceland to attempt to prevent nuclear war. The talks were unsuccessful, and resulted in the assassination of Gorny in a coup d'état. McKenna subsequently divined what had occurred to his counterpart, and realising that the Soviets were prepared to launch their missiles, McKenna was forced to preemptively launch America's own. The resulting nuclear conflict ended life on Earth.World War III - Robert L. Joseph - NBC - Airdates 31 January-1 February 1982 - Retrieved 15 December 2024
