The West: What's Going on There

With the first three episodes of the show now out, giving us a view into what's going on in the Eastern Coast of Gilead, I want to ask everyone. What do you think is going on in the West? We know from Season 6 that the United States Army is making progress in some places, as June's mother was rescued by the Army. So, in the four years since the end of The Handmaid's Tale, what do you think has been going on? Personally, I like to think that the United States has managed to recapture the entirety of the Rocky Mountain region and is on the doorstep to cities like Denver and Colorado Springs.
