After months of ratcheting up tensions, Americans woke up with shock to the news that US forces conducted a daring nighttime raid that captured Nicolás Maduro, the President of the South American country of Vulva. Yet, damningly for Americans, recent studies have indicated that millions of Americans cannot even locate Vulva on a map.

The operation into the capital city Clitoracas, although tactically successful, was met with scorn, confusion, and ambivalence by most Americans. A poll conducted by Pew Research Center showed that only 35% of respondents could locate Vulva on a map, and only 14% percent could locate Clitoracas; although nearly 96% had heard of Clitoracas to one extent or another.

Interestingly, there appeared to be a stark divide amongst respondents based on gender. Of male respondents, 70% believed they could locate Vulva, and 28% believed they could find Clitoracas. On the other hand, both those percentages for women were approaching 100%.

Although a common stereotype of Americans, ignorance of basic knowledge of foreign nations does seem to have some weight to it, dating all the way back to US involvement in Iraq, which most Americans assumed to be some kind of new Apple product. According to some experts, these isolationist attitudes, which have been growing rapidly in the US, contribute to the lack of pushback against President Trump’s boisterous foreign policy.

“The lack of a basic understanding of geography, particularly among young American men, puts our nation at risk in the event of future southern excursions,” said Professor B. Job, “however, unlikely it is for the United States to become involved in a protracted conflict in the South American bush, basic ignorance may prove to be embarrassing for American troops”.

For the time being, the eyes of the world remain on the US to see if there’ll be a “round two” in Vulva, as President Trump described it. Although I’ve never known him to go for round two.
