    I didn’t say it was official, if anything I think it’s somewhat unofficial by its very nature, no?!
    It’s not like I have a classified document where this sorta thing would be mentioned 😀

    It’s just an observation, and it’s something I learned (didn’t come up with it myself), probably from a video essay on Youtube or something like that - tried to remember specifically from where but I couldn’t tell you. But it’s been a pattern, with Colin Powell being used for the war in Iraq for example.

    edit: I think /u/crusa187 offered a better reply with more examples

      So to be clear, you have zero evidence whatsoever that this is “US PR Strategy” except your own speculation?

          Ok, just to be really certain about this, did you just tell them to keep up?

          /s

            Just dotting the Ts and crossing the Is, but were you being sarcastic?

              In the context of the comment they were responding to, yes.

              I often

              try {

              print( me->sarcasm);

              } catch ( Exception e ) {

              die();

              }

              The exception is called more often than i would like to admit to.

                I know, I was going along with the “asking the obvious” joke lol. It was pretty easy to guess even without the /s, impossible not to for anyone familiar with that lol
