Russia, Iran, and China created a coalition, acronym RIC, to launch an international attack for world dominance. Russia developed a space-based missile system designed to attack United States communication satellites. Coordinating a three-nation coalition with China and Iran, Russia launched the missiles and destroyed several U.S. communication satellites responsible for cellphone service and internet service. Simultaneously, China infiltrated the U.S. via the Mexico border, sending 10,000 Chinese military personnel to covertly hack America's electrical grid. Major U.S. cities routinely experience intermittent blackouts of varying durations due to software glitches, damaged transformers, and severed electric lines. Iran using terrorists in Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Qatar established a blockade of the Red Sea, disrupting naval trade routes and halting the export of oil from Saudi Arabia.

I need to know how these reactions affect Zoom and Square. For example, I need to tie back to the pandameic also.
