U.S. — The nation has reportedly slipped into a period of deep sadness and introspection after learning that Iran may not actually nuke Los Angeles.
Following a misunderstood statement by President Trump that it would be a "small price to pay" for Iran to nuke LA and San Diego, the nation was upset to learn there is no imminent threat to the City of Angels and that it would not, in fact, be destroyed.
"There are no words to express my disappointment," said John Glenn of Arizona. "I mean, I'm glad San Diego is going to be okay, but I was really hoping LA would get hit with an atomic blast and fall into the sea. That would have really made my day."
Trump has reportedly ordered flags to be lowered to half-staff following the sudden realization that LA would not be torn apart in a flash reaching 180 million degrees Fahrenheit, irradiating the landscape for years to come, preventing Hollywood from ever rebuilding, and scattering the bodies of the Hollywood elite into the wind.
But not all of the regret was focused on Hollywood. Some were just upset that the Dodgers might have another shot at the World Series.
"They can't keep getting away with it!" said local sports fan Lyle Wann.
At publishing time, Americans continued to hold out hope that an earthquake would do to LA what Iran would not.

Hahahahaha!
If Iran did nuke LA, would any American citizens be harmed?
They would nuke LA because it is an important target versus Texas which they would avoid because they do not want to kill muslims
Would we even notice?
(Demokrat Woke Leftists)
The Braves need to take the next two games against the Dodgers to avert the danger of any World Series games being played in Los Angeles. Odds are that the Iranians will not obliterate Los Angeles, but just to be on the safe side.
It could be a San Diego-Los Angeles series.
I think Jimmy Failla said it best yesterday on Laura Ingrahams show, he said that if Iran showed up in LA to bomb it they would say “Hey who beat us to the punch” seriously has anyone actually seen LA, it already looks like its been nuked..you have hobos taking craps on the sidewalk. My Mom almost hit one with her car a few days ago, she was getting ready to turn and out of no where a hobo comes out
would anyone notice if you were nuked?
How about LA send all the homeless back to their home states?
A League Championship Series between the Padres and the Dodgers is possible (if the Padres win the final two games against the Brewers) but the World Series can’t be between two NL teams.
They all “Vote” Democrat so the Dems wont send them anywhere they mean to much to them
How would we be able to tell whether or not they did?
He could have blamed the Jooos.
But then he would be a complete and utter moron and an embarrassment to FR.
