You are assuming I'm interested on what happens at the White House when watching the news (ok,
starting a war is "interesting" news).

No, I didn't assume anything. All I'm saying is that I instantly knew what he meant even
though I'm not a US citizen and thereby pointing out that even though it happened in the US,
the story reached far beyond the US borders (happens pretty often on that fancy internet
thingy).

Besides, a bit of googlefoo would quickly lead you to articles about it.

My bad, I didn't make me explicit enough.

I only noticed it was a joke after the comments about it. When reading the article it was just
something I couldn't understand exactly what the writer was talking about but that wasn't
important enough to care.

Anyway, I said I was nitpicking on my original reply.
