Yes, there's that, but it's also just straight up gaslighting as a means to bully sovereign countries and further brainwash people into whatever reality the administration dictates. Next time, it'll be an executive order to have Greenland renamed, etc. The pen truely is mightier than the sword.

The facts are overwhelmingly against you, and the more people focus on the reality the worse it is for you and your case. Your best bet in these circumstances is to perform a manoeuvre that a great campaigner describes as "throwing a dead cat on the table, mate".

That is because there is one thing that is absolutely certain about throwing a dead cat on the dining room table – and I don't mean that people will be outraged, alarmed, disgusted. That is true, but irrelevant. The key point... is that everyone will shout "Jeez, mate, there's a dead cat on the table!"; in other words they will be talking about the dead cat, the thing you want them to talk about, and they will not be talking about the issue that has been causing you so much grief

Not bad, but my favorite so far is "gulfefe".

No, it's a treaty violation.

The U.S. is supposed to follow IMO Conventions.

Maybe people should give a shit about treaty violations and not pretend they're just distractions what with the whole international law thing?

Plenty of us are capable of being angry about multiple things at once - your point does remain valid though.

Gulf of Water

Gulf of capitalism.

I prefer it the "Gulf of getting Associated Press to use it's correct name so I'll have an excuse to throw them out of the Whitehouse press pool". Maybe I'm turning into a conspiracy theorist?
