By framing this brazen act of aggression in euphemistic terms, the media is falling in line with Trump.

Worry not — the guardians of the rules-based international order are “waiting for the facts” and “monitoring the situation”

The thing the mainstream media is not remembering about Hurricane Katrina is their own lethal, racist contribution to treating rumors as facts used to demonize the stranded in New Orleans, turning them from victims to be aided to enemies to be contained.
