[ WP ] Everyone from America dissappears without a trace , how does this affect the world ?

I was at my station when it happened, on the Canadian side of the US/Canada boarder crossing. My US Counterpart would always wave at me during his patrol and sometimes even bring me those amazing doughnuts that they did n't sell in Canada and in exchange I would always bring him a nice hot cup of Tim Horton coffee. I saw him walking my way across the boarder field, carrying his usual grin and a bag of those amazing doughnuts, when all of a sudden, he was gone. I blinked and the only thing I saw where he once stood, was the bag of doughnuts that were now scattered across the ground. I turned to my buddy in the guard post and he was just as flabbergasted as I was! They were gone, the Americans had just... vanished... 
 
 The vehicles that were entering Canada had all crashed into each other, or simply rolled off into the ditch along side the road. Naturally we went to check on them, but aside from a single Canadian citizen who was returning home with his American cousins, we could n't find a single trace of anyone in, or around the cars. 
 
 As the news came pouring in from around the world in the following days, we learned that this was not an isolated event. Planes piloted by Americans had fallen out of the sky when their pilots had disappeared, an American naval fleet that was coming into a British port had crashed and was spewing thick black smoke and other chemicals that had prompted their military to evacuate the area.. stories like this were appearing more and more. 
 
 It was about a week after that the first Canadian expedition into US territory took place. I was n't apart of it of course, I was just a simple boarder guard, but I watched with bated breath as the live feed from the Canadian Special Forces was broadcast to the nation and the rest of the world. Nothing, no human presence at all, save for a few non American civilians who were hiding, thinking there was some sort of alien invasion or something happening. They brought everyone back to Canada and eventually sent them home. No answers were given, only more questions. 
 
 About a month after the first expedition had returned, that is when the big trouble started. with the US military gone, ISIL had taken advantage to move into the now abandoned US military bases and had taken control of all the weapons and supplies that had remained when their owners had vanished. Emboldened and outfitted with some of the most advanced weapons of war on the planet, they quickly spread their influence across the middle east and into Europe. This conflict destabilized the entire continent, throwing nearly every country in the European Union into a state of constant gorilla warfare. 
 
 The issues were not just limited to Europe. North Korea and China took the opportunity to send forces to claim former US Territory and other parts of the world. South Korea fell in less than a month and the new `` Unified Korea'' was announced, unfortunately, Russia had the same idea when it came to territorial expansion. The two remaining super powers left on the planet began open warfare over former US assets and land. Canada tried to stay out of it for as long as we could, but Russia began annexing parts of our western territories and we eventually started fighting back. 
 
 It was nearly a year ago today that the first Canadian military units had stricken at what the government was now calling `` The Russian Invaders'', bringing us into the war, effectively cut off from all our allies who were busy with their own wars fighting ISIL, or the Great Asian Alliance or the New Russian Federation. 
 
 I still guard a boarder, but instead of Coffee, I have a battle rifle and a three day supply of rations to survive on until someone comes to relieve me. I write to help pass the time, no one has tried to cross into Canada from the US for nearly 6 months now. Just the occasional stray dog that wonders north seeking food. I feed them what I can and send them on their way. I like to think that they make it up to Vancouver or one of the other civilian settlements and can find loving families again, but I can never be certain in these troubled times. 
 
 I still do n't know what happened to the Americans, but whatever happened to them, I am starting to wish would happen to us as well...
