[QUOTE="Stormborn, post: 3766356, member: 14041"] Or the Conflagration hits and everyone recognizes it for what it is, something utterly alien and horrific. However, the nations of the world decide that there is the possibility that this needs to be 'contained' or eliminated. After all, if you were a hostile foreign power and suddenly there are monsters growing in the middle of the US would you trust that the US wouldn't begin to weaponize them ASAP? Are you going to risk werewolf paratroopers and mages turned missile platforms? So some nations want them eliminated. A major disaster in the US plays havok with the world economy and disrupts out closest allies the most, leading to a political situation where their leaders are willing to sanction "a limited tactical nuclear solution" - which of course goes wrong. The US vows retaliation, and does so to a limited extent, but meanwhile more missiles are launched from other countries than were agreed upon, or even supposed to be, and rogue elements of various goverments and terrorist organizations take this opportunity to deploy their own WMDs against their favorite targets. The result: rather than a global war you have a chaotic patchwork of nuclear, chemical, and biological disasters, goverments and economies collapsing, invasions and mobilizations to secure resources, and with all that suffering and missery just serves to attract the attention of otherworldly things to other parts of the globe.
