**Latin** **American** **Republics** threatens newly-formed
Anglian Confederation with 'nuclear war' *

Monday, August 8, 2057

Buenos Aires, Argentina – The League of Latin American Republics
declared
today that the ex-United States' States of California, New Mexico, and
Texas
are League territory, and that the Anglian Confederation has no mandate
to
rule over the ex-Hispano-US peoples who reside there. The LLAR declared
these States as being under foreign occupation and threaten military
action
to free them.

The League of Latin American Republics' threat of military action, given
by
the LLAR statesman Rogerio Gonzalez, comes amid Anglian Confederation
official reports that the LLAR military has shown signs of preparing for
a
test of a new long-range missile system. The LLAR claims it has the
right to
such a launch.

On Friday, the LLAR accused the Anglian Confederation of driving the
situation over California, New Mexico and Texas "to the brink of war,"
and
said it is fully prepared to deal with any Anglian Confederation
aggression
on the matter.

Monday's report accused London of escalating military pressure on the
LLAR
with war exercises, a massive arms buildup and aerial espionage by
basing
new spy planes in the Falkland Islands.

"This is a grave military provocation and blackmail to the LLAR, being
an
indication that the Anglian Confederation is rapidly pushing ahead in
various fields with the extremely dangerous war moves," Gonzalez said.

"The army and people of the LLAR are now in full preparedness to answer
a
pre-emptive attack with a relentless annihilating strike and a nuclear
war
with a mighty nuclear deterrent," the report said.

Admiral Dewsbury, Lord Governor of the territory previously known as the
United
States, refused to respond to what he calls "a hypothetical situation."

"It is a statement about what may happen if something that hasn't
happened
happens," he said.

League of Latin American Republics routinely accuses the England of
aerial
espionage, issuing a tally of such flights at the end of every month.
The
English military doesn't comment, although it acknowledges monitoring
League
of Latin American Republics' military activity since the Falklands
Incident
seven years earlier.

London has said in recent weeks that spy satellite images show the LLAR
has
taken steps to prepare their long-range *Granizada* (hailstorm) missile
for
a test-launch.

Estimates for the range of the missile vary widely, but at least one
Anglian
Confederation study said it could be able to reach parts of the
ex-United
States with a light payload, such as a tactical nuclear warhead.

Speculation that the LLAR could fire the missile has waned in recent
days
since the country's top ally and a major source of its energy supplies,
the
Eurasian Union, reportedly urged League of Latin American Republics
reconsider the missile test.

Meanwhile, a Falklands government official said they are considering
re-arming their installations with new missile-defense systems using the
new
*Aardvark-II* short-range interceptor missile.

*Aardvark-II* interceptor missiles, however, are reportedly effective
against short-range ship-borne missiles and at striking aircraft but
would
not be able to hit a long-range missile.
