Washington DC – The intense standoff and the threat of mines in the Strait of Hormuz have elicited calls for the use of escorts. “I think ships will need lots of help from escorts,” said Professor Abweichler of International Affairs. “It’s a pretty tense situation so I think escorts will help. Escorts always bring some release.” Chevron CEO Mike Wirth tentatively agrees with the idea of escorts. “There’s plenty of oil, so there’s no shortage of lubricant. Just need to get it

Geneva, Switzerland – Experts are warning of the new COVID strain detected in most countries, dubbed the “Hormuz” variant. “We’ve given up on using Greek letters or numbers, cos they don’t sound sci-fi and scary anymore,” said Professor Lenny Bollocks. Experts have named the variant “Hormuz” because they suspect the strain originated in Iran while exploding Israeli bombs made it airborne and spread it.

Washington DC – The Pentagon has reportedly ordered a second aircraft carrier strike group to prepare for deployment in the Middle East. “Look, Iran should be grateful that I’ve told Benny to shut up because he would like nothing better than to treat Iran like Gaza,” said President Donald Trump. The president, however, has again warned Iran that “there will be big beautiful ships that can do big things” while insisting that talks should continue. “But in the tradition of Pre

Washington DC – President Trump has issued Order 66. “I have ordered the withdrawal of the US from 66 international organizations and treaties, including 31 UN entities or whatever they’re called,” said Trump, “because they’re useless, just useless.” The decision has sparked outrage, with some labelling it as “short-sighted” and “foolish”. President Trump, however, is unfazed. “People call me a tyrant, can you believe that? I mean, it’s not like I’m wiping out the Jedi. I’m j

Sydney, Australia – After watching the US military operation in Venezuela in which Nicolás Maduro was swiftly captured, an Australian man is wondering when the US will conduct a similar raid in the country. “I know our crime rate is not that bad and cartels don’t operate overtly here but still, there are plenty of criminals and commies, especially in government, who need to be dealt with,” said the man. Others share a similar sentiment given Australia’s traditional alliance w
