The Globe and Mail - Russian Forces Invade Saudi Arabia

By Rebecca Kim

After a recent motion to have all press removed from the SDG Crisis Committee, and many verbal attacks - from proposed motions to cut off all members of UN News and Media’s hands, to possible kidnapping and execution, - the press corps is outraged. Through these threats, it is still the Globe and Mail’s promise to keep the events of the world transparent from citizens. Before being kicked out, a few reporters were able to collect some of the committee’s plan of action.

An eventful day began the crisis we are in from Saudi Arabia’s failed attempt to assassinate Russia’s leader, Vladimir Putin. The SDG originally began this plan to assassinate Putin in hopes of slowing the expansion of Russian territory. The thought behind this plan was that Russia would have to find a new leader before continuing their growth towards Saudi Arabia. The SDG Crisis Committee sent 20 troops on a mission to assassinate Putin. The mission was highly unsuccessful with all 20 soldiers either being slaughtered or kidnapped. Russia saw this as an act of war and bombed 3 areas of Saudi Arabia.

The Minister of Public Messaging and the CEO of SABIC have been kidnapped by Russian forces and cut off from all communication. On top of this loss, the Russians have also taken two oil reserves. It is believed that the Russians invaded through Iran’s borders; Iran being their only ally in this area. The CEO of Riyad Bank suggested an alliance with the United States of America but the delegates were informed that the United States of America has not yet chosen a side of this conflict. Another possible alliance that was brought up was with India, however India refused this offer saying that Saudi Arabia were the original aggressors beginning this war and would therefore not support them. There have been two airstrikes launched against the city of Riyadh and the civilian casualty count is estimated to be in the thousands.

Saudi Arabian Casualties:

Aircraft - 600

Armed Forces - 400,000

Tanks - 400

Submarines - 15

Armored Vehicles - 500

Russian Casualties:

Aircraft - 200

Armed Forces - 900,000

Tanks - 2,000

Naval Ships - 300

The reporters for the press faced many threats from the delegates of the SDG Crisis Committee including the Minister of Justice suggesting that if the press refused to leave or reported on their current battle strategies, to execute the workers for the press. The Minister of Justice also suggested to cut off all the reporters’ hands. Reporters responded, reminding that if they did execute them, certain news companies were from potentially critical countries. This would result in making these countries such as the United States of America, China, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Qatar, become enemies.

This would obviously be detrimental to the Saudi Arabian side of the war. The press was later invited back to discuss a compromise for the information that could be published. It was decided that the press would be able to publish current events and maneuvers already performed by the Saudi Arabian army, but not any future plans for next attacks. The Minister of Justice did not apologise for any statements made previously.

We can only hope that this war will come to a diplomatic conclusion to keep everyone safe. There are still many ways for this war to go and The Globe and Mail will continue to keep the world updated on the current events between Saudi Arabia and Russia. We can only hope that this conflict will result in a brighter future for all.
