The nation was shaken by approximately eight people on a calm Tuesday afternoon after satellite imaging detected that an Iraqi training facility outside Mosul had shifted one inch to the left, triggering a Priority One alert to the White House. Within 90 minutes the United States had declared a full-scale state of war against a 38-ton granite boulder in Nice, France, in what sources say was a ‘mistake’ as they confused Iraq with a rock. The Pentagon now states that the “rock has been fully blown up” but that the changes “cannot be undone.” Due to this mistake, the U.S has lost about $2.4 trillion dollars in military expenses on using their full fleet on this rock.

“We will be sure to get the right object next time,” said an anonymous Pentagon official who remains private, “we ensure the safety of our civilians to the fullest.”

“Unbelievable!” said a user on Facebook, “is this seriously where all our tax dollars are going to? Seriously? I pay $56,000 in taxes a year for this? Unbelievable.”

The rock blown up by the U.S Department of Defense has been shredded down and is now used for material, finding diamonds, coal, and iron.

“Quite frankly, if we look at the costs, we lost $2.4 trillion dollars, but in return we got some diamonds, which is frankly worth it,” said Trump.

The U.S has now declared for privacy, and no more further questions at this time on the brutal mistake.
