Awesome / The Conversion Bureau: Cold War

• The United States and the Soviets putting aside all differences to fight xenocidal aliens... this is going to be fun.
• After Xelly reveals her plans for humanity she is given a Reason You Suck Speech by the world leaders present at the UN meeting.
  Mikhail Gorbachev: "What happened in the Pacific?"
  Xenolestia: "Do you mean the ships that were in the area that's now Equestria? Those that were on the ships were converted into ponies and now live in Equestria."
  Li Xiannian: "Do you have any idea how many resources were on the ships? Do you know you just kidnapped two thousand Chinese citizens?"
  Xenolestia: "Like it matters to you, all you care about is power, not your people. They will be happier in Eques-"
  Ronald Reagan: "Then why don't you let people decide for themselves? Why do you have to do this against their will?"
  Xenolestia: (At a lost for words) "Well, uh-"
  Gorbachev: "We can live in peace. We don't need this, and you shouldn't either, we can work something out."
  Xenolestia: War cannot happen, however, you cannot continue your self-destructive behavior, so join me, or I will force it with my magic. And you won't like it."
  • And at the end of the speech, Regan actually has the stones to punch Xenolestia right in the face!
• How do the Soviets destroy the barrier? With a goddamn nuke that's how!
