    Clearly Yanis means the USA not her specifically. He is critiquing the contradiction between the current action taken by the USA and the spin that its representatives broadcast to mollify people concerned about an ongoing genocide. Isn’t that crystal clear? We all know, Yanis knows, you even know, that Harris is not the sole arbiter of America’s culpability in this mess so the inference is clear. He is speaking towards the institution that she as Vice President is a figurehead of, the USA.

      But shouldn’t this imply unity in the governing body and that every opinion of every high bureaucrat expressing the common opinion? Otherwise it seems a bit illogical to attack specific claims by a specific person even if that person is VP

        No. Because contex matters.

            Maybe it makes no sense to you. Maybe you cannot understand simple inferences. That’s not the end of the world.

            But, the problem here is that a review of the aggregation of your comments on other topics would lead me to believe that you are a functioning adult. One that it is able to play with nuance and one that is fiercely partisan in their belief’s.

            So instead of playing your condescending game, of trying to exhaust commenters that have opinions you disagree with, why not be a little braver and just spell out your actual position. People are generally civil on this forum. Engage with them honestly.

      Thank you for saying this in a way that it could sorta land… I should know better than to try to articulate a nuanced point in response to the “umm actually” crowd.
