WASHINGTON, North America. As the United States Central Command's invasion of the Texas Free Zone appears to be bogging down, the South American Union has begun to clearly signal its potential intervention in US domestic affairs. Fuel shortages for the Central Command are severe, with supply lines to Texas refineries remaining unstable due to persistent resistance from local militias. Under these circumstances, the South American Union has reportedly approached the Texas Free Zone through the World People's Solidarity Bank (WPSB), offering 'humanitarian fuel supply and infrastructure repair assistance'. Washington's Central Command immediately rejected this, calling it a 'blatant infringement on national sovereignty'. However, immediately following this rejection, the Cuban Republic Army, under the direction of the South American Union's 'Castro Eternal Defense Command', commenced large-scale naval and air exercises in international waters off the Florida Peninsula. According to sources, these exercises are unprecedented in scale and include live-fire operations, with their demonstrative nature interpreted as a clear warning to Washington. The United States now faces a new threat of military pressure from the south, in addition to its ongoing civil war over domestic fuel resources. The dysfunctional United Nations has been unable to take effective action to resolve the situation, and the US's isolation deepens as the South American Union expands its international influence through the WPSB.
