Frontline Exhaustion: Neither of USA (Эльф ушастый) and USSR (ПРОТИВНИК СОСАТБ) Yields Ground

Teletype flashes from news agency bureaus on the perimeter report that the bitter struggle between USA (Эльф ушастый) and USSR (ПРОТИВНИК СОСАТБ) has now extended for 2 continuous years, with neither administration prepared to sue for a settlement. Frontier towns have been fortified, evacuated, and shelled until only concrete rubble and grim obstinacy remain. Cartographers at the ministry are already exhausted from updating tactical wall maps with red grease-pencil. 'Deterrence is an intellectual construct that survives only until the engines start,' remarked a university historian.
