    This reminds me of Trudeau and his ‘extended humanitarian pause’. Western politicians having fun with words.

      Other “fun” euphemisms from the West:

      Enhanced Interrogation (torture)

      Extraordinary Rendition (state kidnapping and illegal extradition)

      Lethal Aid (Weapon exports)

      No Fly Zone (Taking over enemy air space via force)

      Boots on the Ground (Invasion)

      Targeted/Precision Killings (Indiscriminate Bombing)

      War on Terror (Eternal conflict used to divide and conquer, funding terrorists)

      Overseas Contingency Operations (Miscellaneous Imperialist Adventures)

      Collateral Damage (Innocent casualties we don’t care about)

      Surge (Do more of the thing we are already doing, sunk cost fallacy)

      Shock and Awe (Mass destruction of civilian infrastructure and war terror)

      Regime (Big bad government we don’t like)

      Moderate Rebels (Actual fascist jihadists)

        Regime (Big bad government we don’t like)

        Don’t forget prison camps (prisons), secret police (intelligence agency), propaganda (most public statements), for the “governments we don’t like” genre.

    He looks like he’s in the middle of an SNL skit.

    Very happy he made this statement though. A little more pushing them left and soon they’ll announce that they’re very disappointed by Israel.

    I like how the meter doesn’t go as low as “no concern” (honest) and even the highest rating doesn’t imply actually doing something about it (also honest).
