Stop with the “without publicly mentioning it” it was clear as day who it was aimed at. Let’s not act naive here. My point was prior to all of this it should’ve initially been done in private and in a diplomatic manner.So calling out the foreign influence (which the are part of) without publicly mentioning them was respectful way of saying back off. But they publicly call our government illegitimate. There is no private diplomacy after that. We absolutely deserve an apology.
Why are you so hell bent on defending these people. You think the UAE will take you disrespecting them like this. Like if we called their monarchy illegitimate.
I’m not defending anyone. I just see it as FGS takes a jab at UAE and then UAE jabs back and then FGS then calling foul and demanding an apology.
