    How is that a “bonkers extrapolation”? The US expanded the regions they claim in the arctic under Biden. That’s a fact.

    Do you apply the same apologist take to China expanding its claims farther out from the coasts?

      It’s self-evident bonkers extrapolation, shown by simply comparing your claims with the links you’ve offered as support.

      My trick for surviving in the wilds of the internet is an early end to conversations with folks who seem immune to words, logic, common sense, etc. It would be nice if that wasn’t you.

        It’s not evident to me.

        I’m open to be swayed. Why is this expansion of US claims acceptable and not an annexation?

        And why is this expansion considered forgettable, but we label every expansion done by China in the exact same way considered an aggression?
