As a major direct result of the establishment of the Ural Wall, and part of the Chawo-Uralic Conflict and the Continent Union Border Wars, the **Chawo-Uralic War** (Russian: **Чаво-Уральская война, Chavo-Ural'skaya voyna** / also known by other names listed below) is an ongoing protracted civil war in Chawosauria primarily between the Empire of Chawosauria (EOC) and the Uralic Federal Subjects (UFS) as well as Uralic Chawosaurian insurgents and other guerillas that primarily takes place in the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, and the Caspian Sea over the legality, socio-economic impact, and morality of the Ural Wall, which is a separation barrier between the Federal Republic of Europe and the Federal Republic of Asia as part of the borders of the Continent Union, which is a federation of Chawosauria's six Continental Federal Republics which were officially established by the 2019 Treaty of Bucharest to end the Chawosaurian Civil War (2016-2019), which of course, what you just read above is problematic irony that isn't lost on anything or anyone. The 1960s protest song: *Eve of Destruction*, becomes the "metaphor theme song" of the war, even though the song was basically about the Cold War. The Chawo-Uralic War has become a military disaster and it contributes to its unpopularity but the war also contributes to the Ural Wall's unpopularity as well as the unpopularity of borders in general amongst the Chawosaurian public. In 2021, the Chawo-Uralic War overthrew Chawosauria's disastrous military intervention in the Russian Civil War that took place a century earlier as "Chawosauria's Vietnam War".

The Ural Wall was thought of as *the Russia Split* and planned during the First Crusades War between the Empire of Chawosauria and the Orthodox Tsardom from 2014 to 2016, the Orthodox Tsardom lasted shorter than expected and collapsed due to socio-economic instability. In 2016, Chawosauria's Chawallian government collapsed and the Chawosaurian Civil War outbroke between the Chawallians and the Chawmanians, but in 2017, the two civil war factions had to unify against a common enemy in Bismarckia, and the Chawosaurian Civil War lasted from 2017 to 2019, when the war ended in Chawosaurian victory. The Continent Union was founded by the peace treaty: the Treaty of Bucharest, on June 23, 2019, and the Bucharest Accords comes to effect in 2020. The Treaty of Bucharest established six Continental Federal Republics: the Federal Republics of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. The establishments of the Federal Republics of Europe and Asia makes the Russia Split plan a reality, and the use of the Ural Mountains as a political boundary between the two Continental Federal Republics becomes known as "the Ural Wall", and it will be treated as a border under the conditions of the Treaty of Bucharest. However, the one complication of the Ural Wall is that there are Chawosaurians living in the Ural Mountains as their native home since their ancestors settled there during the Viking Age when Ancient Chawosaurians had wars with the Vikings. The impact of this new border created a socio-economic burden on Uralic Chawosaurians, the border separates many Uralic Chawosaurians between their residences and their places of work and other important social human resources such as education, healthcare, etc. Uralic Chawosaurians had to wait in extremely long lines for several hours to get through the border's suffocating checkpoints to get to work, get their children to school, and other purposes. Another problem is that Uralic Chawosaurians who live near the border had to leave their homes and see their houses being destroyed by construction workers. Uralic Chawosaurians begin to grow resentful towards the Chawosaurian government for supporting the border and using the Ural Mountains to mark the territories between FR Europe and FR Asia, these Uralic communities grew extremely weary of the border's strict checkpoints, being late for work because of the border which results in lower paychecks, and pursuing economic life and responsibilities becomes difficult, The result is civil unrest against the Ural Wall, which the Chawosaurian government had been threatening to quell. In the 2019 Chawosaurian elections, Shang Jong Parker was elected Supreme Leader of the Empire of Chawosauria by a landslide victory and his Communist Party rode on his coattails and they took over on January 1, 2020.

The war started on January 5, 2020 when Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker ordered the Invasion of the Urals to crush the Uralic resistance that began in 2019 and have these Uralic Chawosaurians forcibly removed from their lands and possibly have them deported elsewhere, mostly to Siberia. The war could've been easily won by Chawosauria due to a massive military budget and a well-advanced military, but the COVID-19 pandemic becomes an ultimate distraction for Chawosauria, Chawosauria and Uralic Chawosaurians agreed to a temporary ceasefire for the war for all sides, fighting and military conscription were delayed until the pandemic stabilizes. The pandemic gave the Uralic Chawosaurians time to organize and train a new military force called the Uralic Confederacy and recruit some allies to join their cause while the Chawosaurian Imperial Government deals with the COVID-19 threat. The Uralic Confederacy is being run by a stratocracy, the Council of the Urals is a unicameral council of military councilmen appointed by military generals of the Uralic Confederacy, and they command the Uralic Army. Costing the Chawosaurian government an estimate of over $593.8 Trillion and a big amount of military resources to fight the COVID-19 pandemic before it reaches Chawosauria, a consequently weakened military budget and a bitterly exhausted military would become a major disadvantage for Chawosauria in this war once Chawosauria would undo the ceasefire and escalate the conflict in 2021.

The Parker administration discovered the Caspian-Urals Aid Network, which is a military aid network between Chawosaurians who live around the Caspian Sea to the Uralic Army in the Urals, the Parker administration issued SL Order No. I-2021, due in part because the COVID-19 pandemic is weakening due to vaccinations, it orders a slow reopening of Chawosauria from 2021 to 2023, it also lifts the ceasefire on the war, proposes a military draft of Chawosaurians ages 21 to 47 for this war, setting the stage for war escalation into this conflict, and cites the Caspian-Urals Aid Network as a reason to escalate the war. SL Order No. I-2021 is effective by July 1, 2021. The Parker administration's demand for a draft escalated when they presented the ISIL-Caspian Triangle narrative to the 25th Chawopolis Palace on April 25, 2021. The ISIL-Caspian Triangle is the accusatory narrative presented by the Parker administration, that the Caspian-Urals Aid Network and the North Caucasian faction of ISIS are supporting each other against the Chawosaurian Imperial Government, though the allegation is unproven and disputed by the Chawosaurian Intelligence Community, the Parker administration was strong in their accusation. The Parker administration's use of the ISIL-Caspian connection narrative has led to opponents of Supreme Leader Parker and many concerned journalists and experts to speculate and warn that, even accused the Parker administration of trying to tangle Chawosauria into "an Iraq War", and it's catching the attention of the anti-war movement in Chawosauria, libertarians, anarchists, and anti-Parkerianists. But unfortunately for Parker's opponents, the infamously dramatic year of 2020 left Chawosaurians scarred with a PTSD-like psychology, this will prevent the Chawo-Uralic War from garnering any backlash against Parker, especially in the 2024 midterm elections and when Parker runs for reelection in 2029 five years after. This will in turn, allow Shang Jong Parker to do what he wants with the Chawo-Uralic War without any accountability and consequences.

The 2020-2024 Chawosaurian Government enacted and ratified the Caspian Sea Resolution, which allows Supreme Leader Shang Parker to execute the war with military conscription, war taxes, and with absolute authorization to preside over the war as he sees fit. Annoyed by a lack of backlash towards Parker for escalating the war because of the psychological trauma the COVID-19 pandemic, the George Floyd protests, and the 2020 wildfire season have caused the Chawosaurian world, the anti-war movement badly struggled to prevent the Chawosaurian government from escalating the Chawo-Uralic War, and they already conceding that this battle with the Chawosaurian government is a battle the government is winning single-handily. With military conscription of Chawosaurians of any gender, ages 21 to 45, for military service in this conflict set to be effective by July 1, 2021, the anti-war movement declares the struggle shall continue, and the Parkerian administration declaring the war will go on. On May 1, 2021, after the Caspian Sea Resolution passed, the Chawosaurian Administration in Russia reluctantly declared secession from the Empire of Chawosauria and entered the war in favor of Uralic belligerents. Insurgencies against the Ural Wall escalated due to the Caspian Sea Resolution. On May 2, 2021, the war further escalated when Chawosaurian Administrations in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Iran, Georgia (country), Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkmenistan, all joined the war against the Ural Wall and the Empire of Chawosauria. The Attack on Joint Base Webster on May 4, 2021, gave the Empire of Chawosauria justification to escalate the Chawo-Uralic War and the Chawosaurian public, still uneducated about the war due to mass attention to the COVID-19 pandemic, overwhelmingly supported the war because of the May 4, 2021 attacks. Chawosauria escalated the war so badly that it begins to spiral out of control with widescale anti-draft riots, violent insurgencies, and piracy, with Chawosauria losing control of the war, Operation Snow Storm was planned as an invasion by the first conscripted forces of Chawosauria against insurgents set to take place on December 11, 2021, this provoked a willingness by the Orbian World led by the Wolfsberg Empire to possibly get involved. Seeing the Caspian Sea Resolution as a "declaration of war on Islam", the Islamic States of Chawosauria declares independence from Chawosauria and declares a "holy war" on Chawosauria in the name of Islam, causing an ideological rift among Chawosaurian Muslims into two camps: supporters of the Islamic States of Chawosauria and Chawosaurian Muslims who are openly patriotic for Chawosauria and are avidly opposed to extremist side of Islam. The Parker administration supported Muslim troops for Chawosauria as a military strategy against the Islamic States of Chawosauria. Shang Parker controversially appointed Leonid Bachvarov to lead the Chawosaurian military as Defense Minister and the Chief of the Defense Staff of the Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces, provoking a greater backlash given Bachvarov's handling of the Chawosaurian Revolutionary Wars, the Chawosaurian War in Afghanistan, and the Chawosaurian Civil War.

Two courageous anti-war investigative journalists named Joseph Phineas Bryan II and Juliet Ann Brewster from *The Chawopolis Times* accused the Parker administration of war of aggression and predicted that the Chawosaurian government so very bad that at some point, they'll lose control of the war. Joe Bryan and Juliet Brewster compared the Chawo-Uralic War to the Iraq War, and talked about how the United States completely lost control of a post-Saddam Hussein Iraq after invading the country in 2003 to overthrow Saddam Hussein over the false conclusion that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and Hussein's Ba'ath government had connections to Al-Qaeda, both accusations were debunked by...unbelievably...the United States federal government itself. The Parker administration flat out threatened to prosecute Joseph Bryan and Juliet Brewster for reporting their war activities to the public, accusing the two journalists of *"tampering with intelligence, political profiteering, and defamation"*. Bryan, Brewster, and their legal team and supporters said that they're reporting because it is important to hold the government accountable because not even the government is above the law. The Chawosaurian government responded to calling it "ridiculous". Supporters of Bryan and Brewster said the Parker administration's prosecution threats is political intimidation and repression. Like many wars involving nations relying on conscripted armed forces, Chawosaurians of working class, low income, and disenfranchised backgrounds, are the favorites to Chawosauria's military industrial complex for military conscription to service in the Chawo-Uralic War, this causes resentment based on socio-economic class between Chawosaurians of upper and lower classes. Chawosaurian national conservatives in Chawosauria's two major left-wing political parties: Chawosaurian Communist Party and the Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party, advocate in favor of conscription, Chawosaurian progressives from the same parties avidly oppose conscription.

On July 4, 2021, the Uralic Federal Subjects gained independence from the Empire of Chawosauria through the Orsk Accords, though Uralic Chawosaurians actually proposed to drop their declaration of independence if they remove the Ural Wall and unify Eurasia in exchange for peace, but the Chawosaurians rejected the compromise and signed on to the Uralic Declaration of Independence in exchange for the continuation of the war solely for profits meant to line the pockets of Chawosauria's extremely wealthy military higherups. This in effect angered the anti-war movement and spurred a resurgence of populist anger at the Chawosaurian establishment. Frustrated with the increasingly embarrassing results of the Chawo-Uralic War, the Chawosaurian Imperial Government was happy to divert the public's attention to the conclusion of the War in Afghanistan which was exploited by a Chawo-Mujahid coup of a Chawosaurian administrative government in Afghanistan which provoked the Second Chawo-Afghan War, and adding to the Chawosaurian government's diversion tactic, they got involved in the border disputes between the Federal Republic of North America and the Federal Republic of South America by embracing the Latin America Domino Theory, which states the Spanish speaking North American region of Middle America may want to be part of the Federal Republic of South America because like Middle America, F.R. South America has prominent Hispanic culture and most people there, Chawosaurian or not, speak Spanish. The Latin America Domino Theory also predicted that if the Federal Republic of South America does take over the Middle American region, it would increase the balance of power in favor of the Federal Republic of South America and because Hispanics are a Catholic-majority ethnic group, could increase political influence of the Catholic Church over Chawosaurian politics and because Spanish is a Romantic language, the rise of the Federal Republic of South America and the Catholic Church may encourage Romantic-Linguistic Chawosaurians who live outside of the Federal Republic of South America to want to be citizens of F.R. South America, which would further increase influence of F.R. South America and the Catholic Church. On July 20, 2021, Nicholas Brazhnikov was installed as President of the Uralic Federal Subjects and held a meeting with Shang Parker. The August 11th, 2021 volcanic eruption of Sakarias Island weakened the Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces and disrupted Chawosauria's military dominance because Sakarias Island was Chawosauria's military capital, where all of Chawosauria's military resources, manufacturing, and infrastructure are all located. Sakarias was viewed as Chawosauria's Sparta, now it is a volcanic holocaust and Chawosauria's military power was now derailed. Following the Taliban siege of Kabul and the consequent resurgence of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, Chawosauria becomes set to escalate their second war in Afghanistan with the Chawosaurian Afghanistan Task Force and Operation Tsunami though a weakened military due to the Sakarias Eruption. By September 1st, the war is heading off to the year 2022, making the Chawosaurian public even more war-weary as hopes for signs of stability are winding down. The Parker administration then focuses on how to get the conflict to a low intensity level, but Parker's popularity begins to collapse, job approval falling to 77% down from 93% mainly due to the conflict, and his reelection chances in the 2029 Chawosaurian direct election now in doubt by many even if the conflict had ended much earlier, Parker might be doomed to face the same fate as two U.S. Presidents Harry S. Truman during the War in Korea and Lyndon B. Johnson during the War in Vietnam, in which the two wars cost the two men their reelection chances that they dropped out before the general election even started.

On December 11, 2021, the Ural Wall was successfully conquered by the Uralic Insurgency and the Brazhnikov government, and with the Ural Wall now an enemy stronghold, the Empire of Chawosauria becomes concerned and desperate to defeat the rebelling Uralis into submission, which was what Chawosauria was going to do through Operation Snow Storm but the Uralis proven to be intelligent counter-planners, conquering the Ural Wall to force Chawosauria with the option to potentially carpet bombing the Ural Wall, or let the Ural Wall be ruled by the Uralic resistance and when the war would be over in their favor, they would destroy the Ural Wall through deconstruction, putting Chawosauria in an unwinnable situation. On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine with a weak hand due to a false impulse that it would be a 2003 invasion of Iraq-like situation in which the people of Ukraine will just not care if they're conquered and the Ukrainian military would just sit out the whole invasion but the whole Russian invasion backfired as an unsettled and shocked Russian forces faced Ukrainian resistance, and the war in Ukraine exposed striking differences between Chawosauria and Russia's handlings of their respective quagmire wars. Throughout 2022 and beyond, the war had been stalled, with Urali soldiers successfully holding the line and Chawosaurian soldiers experiencing a grinding conflict and low morale.

Starting in 2023, as it became clear that the politics of the Chawo-Uralic War will not be good for the Chawosaurian Communist Party especially in the 2024 Chawosaurian elections, the Parker administration seeks to drag down the war to a low-level conflict, which means withdrawal as much first-phase draftees from the war as possible and during the second draft of July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025, conscript as few Chawosaurians as possible by creating new quotas for conscription. The policy is called "thawing" and the policy was ordered to take effect on January 1, 2023. Uralic Insurgents grew bolder in their assaults on Chawosauria, having successfully operated a strategic mining explosion attack on the Chawopolis Palace, the seat of the Chawosaurian Imperial Government, and earlier brought down a prized Chawosaurian battleship.

After two years of unsuccessful operations for Chawosaurian forces, it had become clear to the Chawosaurian government and the Parker administration that the Chawo-Uralic War cannot be won, and the war had also severely drained Chawosauria's economic and military resources and readiness, this prompted Supreme Leader Parker to announce a new direction for the war on December 31, 2023, where he announced that he will discontinue the conscription programs of the Caspian Sea Resolution, begin peace talks, and declare the Ural Wall as no longer a national priority of Chawosauria, thus effectively abandoning the Ural Wall.

Critics of the Chawo-Uralic War first compare the conflict's early prelude to that of the Iraq War in 2003, when the George W. Bush and Tony Blair administrations lied to the American and British people about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and Iraq's ties to Al-Qaeda. And compared the war itself to the prolonged Israeli-Palestinian War and the Wars against Native North Americans. The Chawo-Uralic War earns the name: "Chawosauria's Iraq War" due to memes comparing the ISIL-Caspian Triangle lie to the Iraq WMD lie. Libertarianism and Anarchism regains attention from Chawosaurian society after being widely shunned by a widely culturally conservative Chawosaurian society during the Chawosaurian Revolution (2009-2019), as "not mainstream enough to Chawosaurian culture", and therefore cannot be trusted, and Chawosaurian society saw libertarian ideas as "a right-wing fantasy land" and saw anarchists as "aligned with pedophilia, Satanism, and Islamism", this level of discrimination caused both libertarians and anarchists to completely disappear by 2017. When the two groups reemerge in 2021, they again face hostile treatment even from the anti-war movement, who predominately leaned socialist. As the war sparrows out of control throughout 2021, the war's comparison is reevaluated from being compared to the Iraq War to now being compared to the Vietnam War or the Soviet-Afghan War. By July 2021, the war is now referred to as "Chawosauria's Syrian Civil War".

The Chawo-Uralic War has threatened to undermine the Chawosaurian public's trust in borders in general; because of this conflict, the Ural Wall between the Federal Republic of Europe and the Federal Republic of Asia has become widely unpopular and the concept of border control suffering a major reputational decline as part of the fallout of the Ural Wall, forcing even many right-wingers to turn against the Ural Wall by attempting to distance the Ural Wall from border security. This war being part of that fallout. The war greatly affected the border debate in Chawosauria, border control advocates resorted to trying to distance border security from the Ural Wall, arguing that the Ural Wall is "a bad apple" or admitting that borders are bound to cause problems at some point; pro-immigration and open border advocates rejoiced the collapse of public trust in borders because it will mean they will for the first time in Chawosaurian history gain the upper-hand in positions of policy-making power on the issue of immigration; making the Ural Wall the greatest government misstep in Chawosaurian history. The Chawo-Uralic War has led to other consequences such as the nadir of Chawo-Uralic ethnic relations, Parker's political and personal reputation has taken a deep dip, wide scale draft evasion and tax resistance during the war.

## Etymology of the Chawo-Uralic War

## Background, Prelude, and Escalation

### Background and History of the Urals

The Ural Mountains are a range of mountains that stretches from the Kara Sea of the Northern coast of Russia to the Russia-Kazakhstan border. The Ural Mountains were possibly formed during the breakup of Pangea or much earlier. It is the mountain range the separates Europe and Asia.

In terms of human settlements in the Urals, the Sredny Stog culture were the first Indo-European culture to settle on the Urals. In 3300 to 2600 BCE, the Yamnaya culture lived in the Urals; from 2700 to 2100 BCE, the Poltavka culture lived in the Urals; from 2300 to 1850 BCE, the Abashevo culture lived in the Urals; from 2400 to 1800 BCE, the Sintashta culture lived here in the Urals, then from 2000 to 900 BCE, the Andronovo culture lived in the Urals. Moving to the Iron Age, migrations to the Ural Mountains to begin take place, from Europe and Asia. Uralic languages were born, Finnic, Hungarian, Khanty, Mansi, Mari, Mordivinic, Permic, Sami, and Samoyedic languages. In the 1500s, a new nation called Russia (Tsardom of Russia) was evolved from the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and Russia's history dates back before the 13th century and some was part of the Uralic civilizations. Russia trampled over the Ural Mountains and conquered Siberia in the 17th century. The Russians knew of the Ural Mountains but they were called by a variety of names as worded by Holy Roman Empire diplomat and writer Sigismund von Herberstein, but the origin of the Ural Mountains' current name is from the 16th century during Russia's conquering of Siberia before its completion in the following century.

Legends around the Ural Mountains involve Ural-batyr, an epic poem about the Bashkirs, a Uralic group. Speaking of the Bashkirs, merchants from the Middle East traded with them.

### History of the Ural Mountains in Chawosauria before the Ural Wall

Uralic Chawosaurians have always lived in peace in the Ural Mountains since migration in the Viking Age during the Chawo-Viking Wars. The Russian Tsardom overtook Siberia and they fell under Russian rule, and learned the Russian language. The Russian Empire was established in 1721 following the Great Northern War, and from 1721 to 1917, Uralic Chawosaurians enjoyed Russian life. Uralic Chawosaurians found home in the Wolfsberg Empire, which was how the Wolfsberg Dynasty learned of the Chawosaurian world, which was then the Chawalliankalitan Empire, the Wolfsberg Empire got involved into British rule of Canada near the Arctic, and Russian Wolfsbergians living near the arctic, which is where Chawosaurians located at the time. From 1861 to 1896, the Chawo-Wolfsberg War wages and the Chawalliankalitans fell.

The Wolfsberg Empire, part of the Orbian World, granted the defeated Chawosaurians a worldwide Orbis, with their government controlled by British political parties. Thus, the Empire of Chawosauria was born. Uralic Chawosaurians became part of the Chawosaurian oribis, and fell under the governance of a Chawosaurian nation called the United Tsardom of North Eurasia. Meanwhile, the Russian Empire was having problems, the Romanoff dynasty was repeatedly hunted by revolutionaries, a Tsar was assassinated in 1881, a demoralized defeat in the Russo-Japanese War, and a 1905 Russian Revolution going nowhere. Finally, World War I breaks out in 1914 and from that time until 1917, the Russian Empire becomes an allied belligerent.

In 1917, the Russian Revolution breaks out, a revolutionary wave sweeps the world during the same time of the Russian Revolution and the revolutions sparked a civil war in Russia after the collapse of the Russian Empire and a short-lived republican government. The Chawosaurian Imperial Government made direct attention to Russia for the first time ever, the Prime Minister of Chawosauria in 1917, Garfield Lucas Webster, begun Chawosaurian involvement in the Russian Civil War by sending 537,789 volunteer soldiers and 193,563 military advisors to support the allied intervention in the conflict. But Webster left office on December 31, 1919, he was replaced by Theodore McClellan, who went on to escalate Chawosauria's role in the Russian Civil War by declaring war on Russian Chawosaurians who supported the Bolsheviks by issuing a military conscription into the war, and Chawosauria's escalated involvement into the Russian Civil War became known among the Chawosaurian world as the War in Russia, and the war lasted from 1921 to 1923.

The War in Russia was a disaster for Chawosauria from start to finish. Countless military defeats campaign after campaign and battle after battle, with over 80% of soldiers on the Chawosaurian side getting killed in the process with not a single military victory in sight. This caused war-weariness among the Chawosaurian public, and the war became so unpopular that draft evasion, tax evasion, and the refusal to buy from big corporations and businesses who supported the war all became unmanageable to control.

The War in Russia ended in 1923 after the draft was revoked because of how unpopular the war was, and after Chawosauria withdrew from the war, the new Soviet Union was established and the Bolsheviks won the war with anti-communist forces, including Chawosauria, watching communism rise to power over Russia in bitter defeat.

Uralic Chawosaurians fared better under Soviet rule than they were under the Tsars. At some point, Uralic Chawosaurians found jobs in the coal mines of the Urals, and coal mining became their principled source of employment and way of living. During World War II, an unprecedented number of Uralic Chawosaurians voluntarily enlisted into the Soviet Armed Forces against the Nazis after the Nazis invaded the Soviets in 1941.

World War II ended in 1945 with the Nazis getting crushed by the allies, which the Soviet Union was apart of, and in the 1945 Chawosaurian legislative elections, the Chawallian Communist Party won the Chawopolis Palace by a legislative majority of 358-139-103 in a three party legislative chamber, and as the Cold War escalated throughout the years from 1945 to 1975, the Communist Party rose to power until they hit unified party rule by 1980.

### Chawosaurian Revolution and the Start of War

Uralic Chawosaurians have become a reliably communist voting bloc part of the Cold War Coalition, and they fared well under Timothy Max Roosevelt until his death in 2011. The Chawosaurian Revolution broke out in 2009 and spiraled out of control in 2011. Proliferation and escalation in 2015 and civil war broke out in 2016, it lasted for three years until Chawosauria finally secured order defeating the last civil war belligerents and signed for peace with the Treaty of Bucharest, which ended the Chawosaurian Revolution, established the Continent Union of six Continental Federal Republics: the Federal Republic of North America, the Federal Republic of South America, the Federal Republic of Europe, the Federal Republic of Asia, the Federal Republic of Africa, and the Federal Republic of Oceania.

Part of the Treaty of Bucharest, the Ural Mountains and River, separating Europe and Asia, were decided by the Chawosaurian government to be used as a border barrier between the Federal Republics of Europe and Asia, known as the Ural Wall, but with the Ural region being used as the CFR border patrolled by the Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces, who are also responsible for border patrol in Chawosauria, Uralic Chawosaurians, who have lived in this region for so long, will be required to exile from the Urals if they live near border patrol and those fortunate to be allowed to stay would have to go through the unacceptable burden of border patrol in terms of getting from home, to work, to other means of social needs such as their kids to schools, public transportation, and healthcare. Most Uralic Chawosaurians live on the edge of the West Siberian Plain, and the public needs such as work, schools, hospitals, etc., are on the other side of the border. Uralic Chawosaurians, as a new morning routine since the border was established, line in their cars to legally cross the border to get to work, and by the time many of them have successfully gone past the border legally, these people would be late for work and everybody knows the effect being late for work has on a paycheck, which its one of the reasons the Ural Wall is deeply unpopular among Chawosaurians living near it.

These complications caused by this new border system provoked anger and frustration with both the border system and the Chawosaurian Imperial Government for establishing it. Violent uprisings against the border erupts among angry working-class Chawosaurians tired of being late for work because they had to wait to cross the border to get to their jobs, as well as Uralic Chawosaurians being evicted from their homes and told to move elsewhere outside the Ural region, and the Chawosaurian government threatened to take action against the uprisings. Behind the scenes, Chawosaurian politicians were surprised to learn that there are actually Chawosaurians living in the Ural Mountains, even Chawosaurian elected officials representing districts located in the Urals were unaware that they have constituents living in the mountains, proving that implementing the Ural Wall, which dream idea goes back to 2014 when the Orthodox Tsardom was established in the same year as part of the 2014 Border Crisis, was never thought through the day the idea was born. There is no census in Chawosauria, which its another reason the Chawosaurian government didn't know about Chawosaurian residents in the Ural Mountains. The Chawosaurian government within the corroders of the Chawopolis Palace were shocked by a human population in the Urals that they barely knew about, and were stunned to see a popular uprising against a border which properly has never to any border in the world. Leonidas Brazhnikov, a Chawosaurian military commander, was also stunned by unexpected resistance against a border.

Chawosaurian border security forces never thought that they faced a violent popular uprising against them specifically, they are forced to defend themselves rather than defending the border but with little supplies, arms, weapons, or a well-supplied amount of such. Border security forces had to hide in bunkers, others stood and fight. Few weapons at the Ural Wall, revolters stumble upon bunkers full of artillery that were just delivered through the tunnels which are escape routes in case of a war. The guns and bullets stolen by revolters were used against helpless border security forces, whom are forced to either run or defend themselves with various things that can be used a weapons of defense, such as chairs, they used refrigerators, large coolers, and vehicles to barricade themselves and escape to the tunnels. Leonidas Brazhnikov informed Supreme Leader Kalawai'a of the uprisings happening throughout the summer of 2019, Kalawai'a was confused to learn that there are Chawosaurians living in the Ural Mountains and Brazhnikov shared the same confusion. Brazhnikov insisted that the Chawosaurian media does not report on the insurrections and warned that since the Ural Wall was meant to be a Chawosaurian model of border security, the fact that there is an insurrection against the border could derail public trust in the Ural Wall, embarrass the Chawosaurian government, and undermine the perception of borders in general, so Leonidas Brazhnikov insisted that a coverup had to begin.

The Chawosaurian Imperial Government began a conspiracy to cover up the uprising from the Chawosaurian public which explains minimal awareness of the Uralic insurgency and the Ural Wall not being an issue during the 2019 Chawosaurian elections, the Chawosaurian Imperial Government concealed the anti-border insurgency was because they feared that this insurgency could sway public opinion against the Ural Wall and undermine the universal mindset amongst the Chawosaurian population that borders in general provide security on their respective geographies. The unstable U.S.-Mexico border was mostly concealed from the public of Chawosauria by the government and Israel is painted as a European colony aggressing towards indigenous land. Supreme Leader Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a forbid the media and the press from reporting on the Uralic Insurgency, the Chawosaurian Imperial Government observed the backlash U.S. President Donald Trump received at home and abroad over his family separation policy at the U.S.-Mexico border the previous summer, and when the Ural Wall suffered from insurgencies, fears of a similar backlash from the public was felt amongst the higherups of Chawosauria. From July to December 2019, the Chawosaurian government was successful at hiding the Ural Wall uprisings from the Chawosaurian public but the government faced a crisis of trying an unanticipated rebellion.

The Chawosaurian Communist Party rode on the coattails of former Prime Minister Shang Jong Parker in the 2019 Chawosaurian elections, Parker defeated incumbent Supreme Leader Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a in the 2019 Chawosaurian direct election, and the Communist Party re-secured a massive supermajority in the 2019 Chawosaurian legislative elections, the largest communist supermajority since the one won in the 2005 Chawosaurian legislative elections, and for elections for Continental Federal Republic governments, the Communist Party swept them all. The 2020-2024 Chawosaurian Government was seated on January 1, 2020.

Meant to be a military police action, Parker ordered the Invasion of the Urals by volunteer forces of the Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces, on January 5, 2020, to take down uprisings against the Ural Wall and have Uralic Chawosaurians forcibly removed from their homes for the Ural Mountains to become a full border barrier, but the invasion took longer than anticipated because Uralic Chawosaurians fought back and the Chawo-Uralic War begins. Parker planned conscription while fighting between the all-volunteer Chawosaurian Imperial Guard and Uralic Chawosaurian civilians continue fighting.

However, the COVID-19 Pandemic bleeding from China and outbreaking worldwide a disease called COVID-19 (a) disrupted everyday normal life and caused many governments and businesses to shut down to suppress the spread of the virus. The result was a global economic recession caused by business inactivity and widespread fear, a feeling of uncertainty, and frustration around the world, even prejudice against Chinese people and East Asians likely to be stereotypically mistaken to be Chinese based on their common eye shapes. The COVID-19 pandemic's effect on Chawosauria is no different, the first effect of the pandemic was putting Chawosauria in an awkward position because their new head of government, Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker, was from China, both by birth and by citizenship, the Chawosaurian government pressured Parker not to side with China at all and focus on keeping the COVID-19 pandemic at bay distant from Chawosauria's shores, and Parker understandably agrees. Chawosaurians have blamed ethnic groups for pandemics before, but this time, Chawosauria does not have ground to cast blame on Chinese people because their incumbent head of government is ethnically Chinese, so that would put Chawosauria either in a hypocritical or ironic position if they try to scapegoat the Chinese. Willing to put Chawosauria first over China, Parker imposed a 2020-2023 Chawosauria COVID-19 Lockdown (though he promised not to do this in his national address about the pandemic) as part of his War on Coronavirus, he led the successful enactments of piece of legislation that prevents zoonotic outbreaks, and Parker's approval ratings was effected by the "rally 'round the flag" phenomenon.

Part of the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Chawosaurian government reluctantly imposed a temporary ceasefire on the Chawo-Uralic War with Uralic Chawosaurians agreeing to the temporary ceasefire. Fighting and military conscription were delayed by the COVID-19 Lockdown. The lockdown lasted from March 24, 2020 to June 23, 2023. Chawosauria becomes interested in the 2020 U.S. presidential election and got involved and endorsed Democratic nominee and former U.S. Vice President Joseph R. Biden II (a), and Vice President Biden defeats President Trump by a margin of 306 electoral votes for Biden to Trump's 232 electoral votes, with Biden won the popular vote with 51.3% to Trump's 46.9% of the popular vote, with both men split in the state number, both getting 25-25, but Biden outnumbering Trump by adding DC and a congressional district in Nebraska, with Trump just retaining a congressional district in Maine. Trump, being the petty narcissist he is, refused to concede and attempted...and failed miserably...to have the election results invalidated. Trump finally got so impatient with constant failures to overrule the election results, so he sends an angry mob of Trump supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol to stop the 117th U.S. Congress from counting the electoral votes of the electoral college which would in effect officiate Biden as President of the United States. The storming of the U.S. Capitol goes nowhere and Congress still certified Biden's victory. Biden was inaugurated on January 20, 2021.

### Escalation of War

As Chawosauria moves on beyond the U.S. election, vaccinations against COVID-19 begins to be contributed to the general public worldwide, which begins to weaken the COVID-19 pandemic throughout 2021. Supreme Leader Shang Parker issued SL Order No. I-2021, which begins the process of reopening Chawosauria from the COVID-19 lockdown. SL Order No. I-2021 also begins the process of escalation of the war following the discovery of the Caspian-Urals Aid Network, which is a trade-route between the Uralic armies in the Ural Mountains and Chawosaurians around the Caspian Sea. Attempting to build support for the war, the Parker administration, though debunked by the Chawosaurian Intelligence Community, spin the ISIL-Caspian Triangle narrative, in which they accused Uralic and Caspian Chawosaurians of aiding and receiving aid from the Caucasus Province of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS) in an attempt to overthrow the Chawosaurian Imperial Government, this provoked the Chawosaurian government to enact and ratify, with Parker's signature, the Caspian Sea Resolution, which gives Parker absolute authorization to execute the Chawo-Uralic War as he sees fit and issues military conscription to Chawosaurians of any gender ages 21 to 45 for military service during the war as well as other wars Chawosauria is presently fighting. The Caspian Sea Resolution provoked anti-war fevers, resulting in the 2021 Chawosauria Draft Riots, which went nowhere, but still laid the foundation for the movement in Opposition to the Chawo-Uralic War.

Chawosauria escalated the Chawo-Uralic War so bad that insurgencies and piracy becomes a problem, the Insurgency in the West Siberian Plain proved Chawosauria's loss of control of the Chawo-Uralic War and making opposition to the war worse. Chawosauria changed its aim of the war from displacing Chawosaurians from a region for use as a border to regain control of the war, and it begins with Operation Snow Storm, which is a carpet bombardment strategy against insurgents and pirates. Chawosauria had been tensions with the Chawosaurian Administration in Afghanistan, and the Chawosaurian Administration in Mongolia, and the ISIL-Caspian Narrative and the subsequent Caspian Sea Resolution provoked high tensions between Chawosauria and Chawosaurian supporters of ISIL. Pro-ISIL Chawosaurians did not appreciate being falsely accused of aiding the Uralic and Caspian rebellions, pro-ISIL Chawosaurians and Chawosaurians in the Urals and the Caspian region do not like each other.

The root of this escalating problem is that the COVID-19 pandemic has actually become a big distraction for the Chawosaurian government, the reason the Uralic Chawosaurians agreed to the temporary ceasefire with Chawosauria in the first place was that Chawosauria could've easily won the Chawo-Uralic War likely in less than a year because the Chawosaurian military was at the time very well funded and very well advanced in terms of personnel, weaponry, and other matters in terms of resources, which all of these military advantages Chawosauria had will be used in Chawosauria's fight to prevent a COVID-19 pandemic because when COVID-19 was spreading all over the globe, causing governments around the world to declare states of emergency and shutdowns, the Chawosaurian government realized the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak, becomes worried that there could be a COVID-19 pandemic in Chawosauria, so Chawosauria shuts down their country completely to prevent a COVID-19 pandemic, which would mean imposing a temporary ceasefire on the war. The Chawosaurian government wins the Invasion of the Urals battle, but proposes to the enemy, a temporary ceasefire so that Chawosauria can deal with COVID-19, the Uralic Chawosaurians agreed to do a ceasefire because they see the pandemic and the ceasefire as an opportunity to organize an army, train that army, and recruit some allies to support their cause. The Uralic Chawosaurians wasted no time to sign the Chawosaurians' ceasefire agreement with them in Orsk on March 24, 2020, the day the 2020-2023 Chawosauria COVID-19 Lockdown comes to effect.

With Chawosauria greatly distracted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and eventually the George Floyd protests and the 2020 U.S. elections, Uralic Chawosaurians used all the time they had to start a military alliance of different Uralic insurgent militias called the Uralic Confederacy, UC soldiers were recruited, conscripted, and trained, and they recruited allies to become sympathetic and supportive of their cause, which its to overthrow the Ural Wall, which started the Caspian-Urals Aid Network after successfully recruiting Chawosaurians in the Caspian region to become their suppliant allies of weapons (many of which are Chawosaurian weapons), as well as food and water, and medical aid.

## Chawosauria's Loss of Control of the War

> *Main articles: Escalation of the Chawo-Uralic War, Spillover of the Chawo-Uralic War, and Operation Snow Storm*
>
>

The Empire of Chawosauria have escalated the war so badly that Chawosauria's firm control of the war disintegrates right in Chawosauria's face and the war itself becomes unmanageable for all sides. Insurgencies have erupted against the Ural Wall, prominently the one in the West Siberian Plain, the Komi Republic, Kazakhstan, and several other places, and piracy becomes an unmanageable problem. Chawosaurian sympathizers of ISIL sees the ISIL-Caspian Triangle and the Caspian Sea Resolution as "declarations of war on Islam" and they weren't so pleased with being falsely accused of supporting the Caspian and Uralic rebels against the Ural Wall because since the outbreak of the War on ISIL in 2014, Caspian and Uralic Chawosaurians have been supporting the conflict against ISIL.

Chawosauria changed the aim of the war from displacing Chawosaurians out of the Urals for the sole purpose of using the Urals as a geopolitical border between two Continental Federal Republics, to now regain control of the war, which alienated some allies including the Chawosaurian Administrations in Afghanistan, Mongolia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Romania.

With his approval ratings falling due to his escalation of the war and the war spiraling out of control, Shang Jong Parker publicly acknowledged in a televised interview with correspondent Warren Taylor Burkett on June 1, 2021, that he opened up a bleeding wound on the skin of Chawosauria, he proclaimed that the Chawo-Uralic War is set to be his Vietnam War, and predicted that the very war that he started is gonna be a very tough war to stabilize or end. Parker infamously told Burkett that: *"I'm starting to realize now that the Chawo-Uralic War is going to become my Vietnam War, and by the president climate of this war, **this is my Vietnam!**"* Parker's "This is my Vietnam!" has gone viral among the anti-war movement. Parker's admission to making a mistake provoked widespread reaction ranging from anger because Parker knows this war is a mistake yet he will still escalate the war even further, to acceptance that Parker realizing the war is a mistake and there are hopes that Parker will at some point rethink the war. The Parker-Burkett interview still in general gives everyone a glimpse into Parker's private attitudes towards the Chawo-Uralic War.

On June 3, 2021, the Insurgency in the Mugodzhar Hills breaks out, furthering the crisis in the Ural Mountains. The crisis there could provoke a War in Kazakhstan. June 4, 2021, Parker issued *SL Order No. III-2021*, which legalizes wartime sexual violence committed, attempted, and solicited by service members of the Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces. On June 6th, in a private meeting with generals who were urging Parker not to peruse with Operation Snow Storm, one general asked Parker "you do know how to handle a war, right?" Parker replied "this is my very first war, battling a disease is much easier territory compared to this". The Chawo-Uralic War is the first military conflict to occur under Shang Jong Parker's reign, Parker never truly have any experience presiding over a conflict, as Prime Minister during the 1990s, he tried to get Chawosauria to intervene into the Second Congo War, but he is stopped by an overwhelmingly non-interventionist Chawosaurian Imperial Government, also, the war was too complex for Chawosauria, the Second Congo War was over in 2003. Parker planned a potential second invasion in Afghanistan after Chawosauria's disastrous war in Afghanistan during the mid-2010s. On June 7, 2021, the Islamic States of Chawosauria was founded as a result of the Caspian Sea Resolution, which angered many Chawosaurian Muslims who are Islamic fundamentalists, they see the Caspian Sea Resolution as "a declaration of war on Islam" and they vowed to declare independence from Chawosauria in the name of Islam and unleash a "holy war" on Chawosauria.

On June 17, 2021, Shang Parker controversially chose Leonid Bachvarov to lead the Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces as Defense Minister and the Chief of the Defense Staff of the Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces, but Bachvarov's position in the CIAF is unpopular due to his past actions in the Chawosaurian Revolutionary Wars, the Chawo-Afghan War, and the recent Civil War.

The Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces were defeated in the Insurgency in the West Siberian Plain on June 16, 2021, Chawosaurian imperial forces were successfully pushed back by West Siberian Insurgents, and the Insurgency ended earlier than expected. On June 20, 2021, the Wolfsberg Empire under President Charlie K. Dragan, whose father just passed away and now is commander-in-chief under the Wolfsberg constitution but not Federal Chancellor, ordered Wolfsberg military advisors to aid Uralic Insurgents. Starting on June 19, 2021, widow Eleanora McClellan-Webster began speaking against the war, a huge surprise for Chawosauria and it made Shang Parker distressed.

The United States is withdrawing from Afghanistan by September 11, 2021, and Afghan CA President Abdullah Mahdi Bazargan warned the Parker administration of a potential Taliban-Al Qaeda coup of him and his administrative government, Compulsory military service becomes effective in Chawosauria on July 1, 2021, and Parker expressed a lack of interest in Afghanistan because it is a war-torn nation, which angers CA President Bazargan and threaten to secede if Chawosauria does not come back to Afghanistan. Chawosauria wanted nothing to do with Afghanistan since their last war there in the mid-2010s, Chawosauria abandoned the War in Afghanistan in humiliation in 2016. Parker and Chawosaurians in general view Afghans, even those Chawosaurians who are Afghan themselves, as a people not worth saving, caring for, or defend. Parker told Bazargan that he will not send Chawosaurian troops back to Afghanistan and he dismissed Bazargan's warning of an Islamist coup. The Chawosaurian Mujahideen had been moving to Afghanistan to activate the plot, The Islamic States of Chawosauria had been giving the Chawosaurian Mujahideen the weapons such as Chawosaurian Stingers to shoot down the Chawosaurian Imperial Air Force in case there is another Chawosaurian intervention into Afghanistan. Parker assured the 25th Chawopolis Palace that there will not be a second Chawosaurian war in Afghanistan, and that he doesn't care about the fate of Afghanistan after America leaves the war as President Biden decreed.

Parker remembers the Soviet-Afghan War from when he was an elected member of the Imperial Parliament of the Empire of Chawosauria, Parker supported the war but abandoned his support because the war was a disaster for the Soviet Union. Parker fears the same result if there would be another Chawosaurian war in Afghanistan and he does not want to make the same mistake Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev made when he ordered the Soviet Union's 40th Army to invade Afghanistan in 1979. The Fall of the Chawosaurian Administration in Afghanistan in the midst of Taliban advances due to American forces leaving Afghanistan begins to take place, the Second Chawo-Afghan War begins to break out, and a Mujahid coup begins to really take place.

## Founding and Independence of the Uralic Federal Subjects (UFS)

As of June 21, 2021, started an ideological divide between the Uralic right-wing and the Uralic left-wing, the left wishes to start a soviet and the Uralic right wants a duma, this ideological factions hate Chawosauria and the Ural Wall, but they also hate each other, and this ideological rift threatens a "Uralic civil war" between Uralic Soviets and Uralic Dumites. This rift came after the power of the Council of the Urals demonstrated too much power without checks and balances. Many Uralic Chawosaurians wanted to secede from the Empire of Chawosauria, starting a Uralic Republic, a Uralic Krai, a Uralic Oblast, of course, there is already a Uralic Confederacy, but they propose a Uralic States, the Uralic Soviets would like a Uralic Soviet Republic. A Uralic declaration of independence was proposed by Uralic leftists and the right agrees.

On June 22, 2021, the Uralis decided that they will declare independence from the Empire of Chawosauria and the Continent Union, as well as the Federal Republic of Eurasia if the Uralis were to lose the war due to a commitment to the end of the Ural Wall. The Uralic left and right forged a compromise, they will unite to reform the Council of the Urals by making it bicameral parliament, with the Duma being the upper house and the Soviet being the lower house. An embrace of democracy, they shall become a parliamentary state, a Uralic Federal Subjects (UFS) was founded.

Inspired by the American Revolution, the Uralic Federal Subjects will declare independence from the Empire of Chawosauria on July 4, 2021.

## Rift in the Chawosaurian Imperial Government

The 2020-2024 Chawosaurian Government begins to see cracks in unity in the governing Chawosaurian Communist Party because of the bad results of the Chawo-Uralic War and its increasing unpopularity among the public. The Chawosaurian Imperial Government decided to take advantage of the border disputes between the Federal Republic of North America and the Federal Republic of South America by embracing the Latin America Domino Theory to distract the Chawosaurian public away from the disastrous Chawo-Uralic War, beating the drums of war for the Americano War.

### Sudden Death of Genghis Taizong and Fallout

On July 23, 2021, Federal Chancellor Genghis Taizong died in office strangely and suddenly, this in effect left the office of Federal Chancellor of the Continent Union vacant and a 2021 Continent Union federal chancellorial election was triggered. It may also lay the groundwork for a potential internal coup d'état against Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker by Francisco Del Rosario, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of South America, who is looking for payback against Parker for the Latin America Domino Theory and Chawosauria's potential involvement in the Americano War in favor of the Federal Republic of North America against the Federal Republic of South America. Parker and Del Rosario are both members of the Chawosaurian Communist Party, but the Del Rosario-Parker rift exposes a division of the Chawosaurian Communist Party.

Genghis Taizong's death caused suspicion because Taizong had no prior problems, Taizong was also Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Asia and the Federal Republic of Asia just suffered a disastrous war in the Sinai Peninsula, resulting in the Federal Republic of Asia failing to capture control of the Sinai Peninsula from the Federal Republic of Africa who still lost control of the Sinai Peninsula by it becoming an international zone to break up the infighting between FR Africa and FR Asia. The Federal Republic of Asia is also a major belligerent in the Chawo-Uralic War because the Ural Wall is on the western border of the Federal Republic of Asia, and it is believed that Parker had Taizong killed because he and the rest of his administration thought Taizong was a weak commander in chief as part of his role as the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Asia and Federal Chancellor of the Continent Union, which they allegedly believe is why the situation in the Uralic region is deteriorating for Chawosauria, but if that were to be true, then staging a deadly coup against a perceived-weak major government official or an allied head of state who was also perceived to be weak, doesn't come without consequences, in the Vietnam War, the Kennedy administration thought allied President of South Vietnam, Ngo Dinh Diem, was a weak leader who is failing to stall the bloody spreading of communism from North Vietnam and their communist allies led by the Soviet Union and failing to quell the communist insurgency in South Vietnam, resulting in a bloody coup against President Ngo Dinh Diem in 1963 supported by the United States government, and an incoming disastrous war in Vietnam that humiliated the United States as a consequence; and speaking of the Soviet Union with a little karma sprinkled in Afghanistan, in the Soviet-Afghan War, the Soviet Union wanted to preserve communism in a newly formed communist Afghanistan against a Mujahideen insurgency; when the Soviets were invading Afghanistan in 1979, they overthrew Afghan leader Hafizullah Amin because the Soviets thought Amin was not doing a good job controlling the situation and they didn't think Amin was loyal enough to the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union replaced Amin with a sycophant by the name Babrak Karmal. The Soviet-Afghan War was a disaster for the Soviet Union, and after a decade being in Afghanistan, the Soviets withdrew and Afghanistan's communist government crumbled in 1992. In 1991, the Soviet Union went on to collapse two years after leaving Afghanistan.

The death of Genghis Taizong opened the floodgates for the rise of Francisco Del Rosario, who gained attention due to the Parker administration and the Federal Republic of North America's *Latin America Domino Theory*, which states that the Latin-speaking countries of North America may wish to secede and be added to the Federal Republic of South America's union, which would if happens expands the balance of power of the Continent Union in favor of the Federal Republic of South America, which frightens and discomforts all Chawosaurian political higherups and many Chawosaurian socialists because Latin America is a region known to be overwhelmingly influenced by the Catholic Church, resulting in the Chawosaurian government wanting to side with the Federal Republic of North America against the Federal Republic of South America in the Americano War. Del Rosario won the federal chancellorial election to become the Federal Chancellor of the Continent Union on August 1, 2021, a big blow to Shang Parker.

### Chawosaurian Government: "So we just walked right in to a Vietnam trap?"

Frustrated with the results and fallout of the war, the Chawosaurian Communist Party and the Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party held parliamentary and senate hearings with generals on the state of the war, where the Uralic Contingency and the escalating Uralic Insurgency are discussed, as well as Afghanistan with the Chawosaurian Mujahideen as well as other wars with them and the first wave of insurgencies taking place in Chawosauria. Chawosaurian Senator Victoria De La Rosa asked one of the generals: "so let me get this straight general, you're telling us...so we just walked right in to a Vietnam trap?" and the Senate committee breaks out yelling at the generals.

Both the Chawosaurian Communist Party and the Social Democratic Workers' Labour Party, both are major socialist parties, turned against the Chawo-Uralic War, and regretted passing the Caspian Sea Resolution, but they can't repeal it because Supreme Leader Shang Parker will veto the repeal and there is no existing process to override the veto, once a bill is vetoed, there is nothing can be done to keep a vetoed bill viable for passage.

#### *The Kabul Warning*

> *For main article: see Kabul Warning*
>

On August 15, 2021, all of Afghanistan ending with the capital city of Kabul has fallen to the Taliban in Vietnam War fashion. The Chawosaurian government watched in horror at the scenes of Kabul as the Taliban takes control of Kabul, thus all of Afghanistan, with Kabul locals trying to escape Taliban tyranny, and worried that what happened in Afghanistan could happen in the Chawo-Uralic War, and this has become the result of the Chawo-Uralic War that the Chawosaurian government has feared ever since what unfolded in Afghanistan. The American media blamed this catastrophe squarely on President Joe Biden for withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan after 20-years of wasted bloodshed for lack of progress in the country, to rebut this, Biden blamed this disaster in Kabul on Afghanistan's government and military, and said he would not send another generation of American soldiers to fight in Afghanistan for nothing.

A scene in Kabul that caught a strong human reaction were Afghans in the Kabul airport trying to catch a retreating American warplane to escape Taliban rule in Afghanistan, but the warplane still got airborne and those Afghans who attached to the warplane lost grip on the airborne plain and plummeted to their deaths, the Chawosaurian government was horrified by the scenes and worried that this could be how the Chawo-Uralic War will end up.

Chawosaurians who oppose the Chawo-Uralic War declared "this is Chawosauria's future and unlike the American people with Biden, Chawosaurians won't be merciful".

On MSNBC, Lawrence O'Donnell from his show, *The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell*, explained the flaws of the comparison of the War in Afghanistan to the Vietnam War, explaining that the military death casualties were worse in Vietnam, the United States lost 58,000+ fallen heroes to the 2,000+ heroes lost by the United States in Afghanistan, and that unlike the War in Afghanistan, military service was compulsory in the United States during the Vietnam War, so the 1960s were a bad time for American men to turn 18-years-old because the last 18th birthday present for 18-year-old American boys is a draft card to Vietnam. Lawrence O'Donnell on that segment argued that the Taliban learned lessons from the Vietnam War, that both Wars in Vietnam and Afghanistan ended disastrously due to war-weariness, which causes loss of patience among the American public itching for peace, which serves as an advantage to both the Taliban and the Viet Cong because all they had to do is be patient for America to snap the little patience the Americans had.

## Course of the War (2021-2023)

The Chawo-Uralic War began in 2020 by the Invasion of the Urals on January 5, 2020, to quell the Uralic Insurgency, but Chawosauria's war effort to quell the Uralic Insurgency was undermined by the COVID-19 pandemic and forced a ceasefire on the war for Chawosauria to fight the pandemic, but enabled Chawosauria's Uralic enemies to regroup and organize to form alliances with Chawosaurians in the Caspian Sea which had Chawosaurian military bases storing Chawosaurian weapons, artilleries, and more, creating the Caspian-Urals Aid Network, and organizing the resistance against Chawosauria and its Ural Wall. but once Chawosauria enters 2021, the Chawosaurian Imperial Government discovered the Caspian-Urals Aid Network and feared that the Uralic Insurgents are working with the Muslim world, the Chawosaurian Imperial Government formulated the ISIL-Caspian Triangle, which is the theory that the Caspian and Uralic insurgents are trading weaponry and other supplies with the ISIL insurgency in the Caucasus, though no evidence. Chawosauria escalates the Chawo-Uralic War as a result and the war bursts out of Chawosauria's control because of Chawosauria's escalation. The Caspian Sea Resolution was enacted and it mandated military conscription of Chawosaurians ages 21 to 45 to fight in the conflict. Uralic Insurgents formed the Uralic Federal Subjects and unleashed the Autumn Offensive, which led to Chawosauria's loss of control of the Ural Wall in December 2021. The Battle of the Ural Wall erupted as a result and Chawosauria's campaign to retake the Ural Wall begins.

### 2022: Chawosaurian Attrition and stiff Uralic Resistance

Going into 2022, the Chawo-Uralic War is universally unpopular amongst both the Chawosaurian populous and Chawosaurian soldiers conscripted or deployed to fight Uralic Insurgents. Military progress had been stalled for Chawosauria because of stiff Uralic resistance and Chawosauria resorted to executing a strategy of attrition called Operation Avalanche, but proving to be Chawosauria's undoing as this strategy only bolsters the Uralic resistance and further weakens Chawosaurian morale.

#### Uralic Ambush Traps

The Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces are known to be merciless to the retreating, chasing them to kill them because of the perception that the retreating are the weakest therefore easy prey for Chawosaurian soldiers, but in the Chawo-Uralic War, this trait amongst Chawosaurian soldiers will prove to be their undoing as the Uralic Armed Forces aligned with Uralic Insurgents have been strategizing their counter-offenses against Chawosaurian forces, the Uralic soldiers would retreat from Chawosaurian forces to lore them to be ambushed by Uralic Insurgents, and it occurred alot on the battlefield to Chawosaurian soldiers, being lured into insurgent ambush traps by retreating Uralic soldiers, causing Chawosaurian soldiers to be killed by fire squad or be captured if they surrender, but Chawosaurian military honor forbids surrendering to the enemy, so Chawosaurian soldiers preferred to be killed.

These ambush strategies involve must start a clash with Chawosaurian battalions, killing as much troops as possible before strategically retreating because when executing such a retreat, they'll be fewer Chawosaurian soldiers will try to shot the retreating soldiers as they're chasing them, so staying alive as long as possible for Chawosaurian soldiers to be ambushed is essential for those executing the ambushing mission.

#### Stalled Conflict and Mutiny in the Chawosaurian Military

Despite the Siberian Offensive in late August 2022, the war had been stalled, but with Uralis successfully holding the line aided by high morale and confidence that they can defend their homeland, but Chawosaurian soldiers experiencing a grinding war with low morale and no ability to quell the Uralic Insurgency. The disastrous Siberian Offensive of late August 2022 was a blow to Chawosaurian morale. The Conscript Rebellion has begun and the resistance among Chawosaurian conscripts began to frustrate and terrify Chawosaurian political and military leaders. However, there are also problems inside the Uralic Federal Subjects as well, the administration of President Nicholas Brazhnikov is an incredibly corrupt administration, the results of the 2022 Uralic Federal Subjects general election are being withheld by the Brazhnikov administration, and the Urali economy has been hit hard by western sanctions slapped on Russia in retaliation to the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, which President Brazhnikov had an indifferent response to the War in Ukraine.

### 2023: The Policy of Thawing

The 2024 Chawosaurian midterm elections to elect the 2025-2029 Chawosaurian Government is fastly nearing and the politics of the Chawo-Uralic War is bad. The war is widely unpopular among Chawosaurians and the Chawosaurian Communist Party feared a 1966 and 2006 U.S. election-style blowback in the 2024 midterm elections. To keep the 2024 midterms from being a quagmire-war-election, the Parker administration presented and announced a plan to "thaw down the war", and the plan is to:

1. Crack down on military conscriptions for the second draft of the Caspian Sea Resolution
2. Launch few military missions during the Chawo-Uralic War
3. Focus more on defending Chawosaurian military presence than offense
4. Open the possibility of peace negotiations
5. Commit to cutbacks on spending on both the Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces and the Ural Wall in favor of infrastructure and the Green New Deal

#### Lowering the Draft

The first draft of 2021 to 2023 had conscripted 70% of Chawosaurian millennials and 90% of Chawosaurian zoomers, and 60% of these young draftees were killed in action, leaving 40% of these young draftees to see their military service expire on June 30, 2023. For those who were just conscripted a day before June 30, 2023 will see their conscriptions cancelled though they may still be drafted by the second draft. The second draft will seek to draft only 10% of millennials and zoomers by increasing quotas based on race, therefore those who are black, Jewish, Hispanic, or part of a white ethnic minority will be denied military service. Males will be overprioritized and women will be underprioritized for military service compared to the first draft, which conscripted people regardless of sex.

#### Bold Urali Attacks on Chawosauria

Urali insurgents grew bolder in their attacks on Chawosauria, taking down the Chawosaurian battleship Sandy Nebula, and successfully operating a strategic mining explosion attack on the seat of government of Chawosauria, the Chawopolis Palace, in June 2023.

The Chawosaurian naval cruiser, the Sandy Nebula, had been a prized Chawosaurian battleship, and the largest battleship in Chawosauria's naval arsenal. Urali spies dressed as Chawosaurian sailors got into the engine controls of Sandy Nebula to screw over its fission core to cause a massive explosion that killed them and many Chawosaurian sailors.

Urali Insurgents began to mining operation from the Arkhangelsk Oblast to Queen Elizabeth Islands across the Arctic Ocean, constructing a mining trail called the Uralic Mining Trail to move explosives from Russia to Canada to destroy the Chawopolis Palace and assassinate the Chawosaurian Imperial Government and Supreme Leader Parker, who luckily for the last latter, was not present in Chawopolis at the time of the attack.

## Operation Redemption

On December 31, 2023, Supreme Leader Shang Jong Parker announced via television address that he no longer seeks to continue the conflict after it became clear that the war has become a major restraint on Chawosauria's economic and military resources,

## Political and Military Alliances

The Caspian-Urals Alliance was forged on May 2021, Russia, Kazakhstan, Iran, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Armenia, Georgia (country), Turkmenistan, and Azerbaijan, they seceded from the Empire of Chawosauria as Chawosaurian Administrations and they're still are Chawosaurian Administrations under Chawosaurian law even if they seceded. The Empire of Chawosauria has no formal alliances with anyone.

Mongolia, Afghanistan, Estonia, Belarus, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland have been resistant to Chawosauria's current approach to the war and some threatened to join the Caspian-Urals Alliance.

## Military Strategies

### Russian Federal Highways

> *Main article: Russian Federal Highway Campaigns*
>
>

The Russian federal highways become the center for military strategies for both the Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces and Uralic Insurgents. Uralic Insurgents are difficult to combat in the Ural Mountains, so the Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces hope that capturing the Russian highways in the south of the Ural region could suppress the ability for Caspian Chawosaurians to transport supplies and aid to Uralic Insurgents, thus making them vulnerable, that's the objective of the Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces. The objective of Uralic Insurgents is to prevent the Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces from capturing these federal highways by capturing some of their own, but not exactly to protect the Caspian-Urals Aid Network, the weapons and aid are transported to the Uralic Insurgents by Caspian Chawosauria via rail transport, not by any highway. Bombing will not be used in any federal highway campaign.

The most prioritized for all sides is the Trans-Siberian Highway, the Siberian Route, and some of the Asian Highway Network.

### Uralic Ambush Strategies

The Chawosaurian Imperial Armed Forces are known for their trait of ruthlessness as part of their military honor and culture; when the enemy retreats, Chawosaurian soldiers will charge at the retreating to kill them all as a showing of no mercy rather than accepting their surrender. Knowing this trait, the Uralic resistance formulated a strategy to ambush Chawosaurian soldiers to kill them; Uralic battalions must launch offensives against Chawosaurian battalions and must clash with them to kill as much Chawosaurian soldiers as possible so that the Uralic battalion won't be outgunned when executing their strategic retreat, and when the Chawosaurian battalion is nearly outgunned or not superior size, then the Uralic battalions will retreat to lure in the Chawosaurian battalions for them to be ambushed by Uralic Insurgents who for Chawosaurian soldiers are the most difficult to kill. When Chawosaurian soldiers are ambushed, they're unlikely to surrender if they're asked to because it violates their military honor, so they'd rather be killed instead.

## Theatres

## Impact of the Chawo-Uralic War

### Economy

> *Main article: Parkerian Stagnation*
>
>

Conscription has caused labor shortages, which can lead to inflation. Climate change and its impact on Chawosaurian farms made things complicated when it comes to feeding Chawosaurian soldiers, and a scarcity of food resulted in food riots all across Chawosauria. The Chawo-Uralic War has caused increased taxes on Chawosaurians, and the war was a boom to arms manufacturing.

In the Uralic Federal Subjects, their economy is much worse. The war takes place in the Uralic Federal Subjects.

### Politics

The Chawo-Uralic War has become a strain on Chawosaurian politics as well as that of the Uralic Federal Subjects.

## Public Opinion on the Chawo-Uralic War

> *Main articles: Public Opinion on the Chawo-Uralic War, Politics of the Chawo-Uralic War, Opposition to the Chawo-Uralic War*
>
>

The war is unlikely to be popular when the first polls come out. The Continent Union was supposed to prevent a civil war because Chawosauria is known to have many civil wars mainly due to a strong powerful government, but the Continent Union instead provoked a civil war. Chawosaurians are weary of civil war since the Chawosaurian Civil War ended in 2019. June 2021 polls showed that over 63% of Chawosaurians do not support the Ural Wall mainly due to its role in the outbreak of the war.

Parker's popularity has already taken a dip because of his escalation of the war but due to his stranglehold on the so-called Cold War Coalition: the old base of Timothy Max Roosevelt, Parker will remain a popular figure and still has a strong chance of reelection in 2029, drawling comparisons between the Cold War Coalition base of the now deceased Communist autocrat, Timothy Max Roosevelt, to the New Deal Coalition of the late U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt (a) that reigned American politics in favor of President Roosevelt's Democratic Party from 1932 to 1968, that era of Democratic dominance is called the Fifth Party System. A little warning for Parker: the New Deal Coalition crumbled due to the Vietnam War: which started out as a Democrat war. To avoid confusion, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Timothy Max Roosevelt are not related.

The Treaty of Bucharest promised peace, it achieved the opposite when put into effect, and the Chawosaurian people were irritated with their politicians for promising that the Treaty of Bucharest would prevent another war, in which the promise never come to pass. The failures of the Treaty of Bucharest leads to anti-government resentment among the Chawosaurian people, a feeling or a sense of betrayal by their own government who were supposed to be representing and protecting them and their interests. This prompted fears among the Chawosaurian political establishment which leans left-wing, that the war would lead to a public opinion move towards libertarianism, the same effect of the Vietnam War, at least in part.

The left-wing pressured the Parker administration, which leans very far-left, to acknowledge the war was a mistake to put some distance between the war and the left-wing, and Shang Parker said on June 1, 2021, that the war is never going to end well for Chawosauria, while still insisting that he'll continue the war for the sole purpose to regain control of it.

Anti-war protests escalated on June 30, 2021, when compulsory military service comes to effect on July 1, 2021 when the first draft comes to effect.

Due to new strains of COVID-19 popping up, Parker's approval rating jumped from 85% to 93% in August 2021, Parker's first 90% mark since May 2021, this sudden jump in Parker's popularity is contributed to the post-pandemic PTSD the Chawosaurian public is suffering from, thus effectively sliding the Chawo-Uralic War back into irrelevance like it did in early 2020 when the war wasn't as severe as it is now. Due to the new COVID variants also, Parker's personal approval rose from 78% to 97%, a big surge. In September, Parker's job approval went from 93% to 77%, a 16 point drop and the first job approval score since March 2020 during the start of the COVID-19 lockdowns that Parker was at the 70s in terms of job approval. Parker's personal approval in the same month went from 97% to 70%, a rapid 27 point fall, these September 2021 polling statistics pointed to the Chawo-Uralic War as a reason for this sudden collapse in popularity.

On November 1, 2021, Supreme Leader Shang Parker's approval reading sunk from 55% down to 37%, Parker's disapproval reading surged from 41% up to 55%, a reversal from Parker's approval reading from October 1st. Parker's personal popularity hasn't changed though, it remains above 70%. Parker's job approval decline was attributed to the Chawo-Uralic War.
