"I said, 'Sundar, I'm thinking of the Atlantic Ocean. Can you handle it?'

"'No, no, no, this time I'm not doing it,' he said, 'Oceans are different, sir. They cover a lot of - really a lot of countries. Please don't ask us to do that.'"

The US president later said he would "probably pass" and keep the name Atlantic, before saying, "We're going to call it the American Ocean".

There's this, lusting over Republican candidate asses, and bragging about finding a giraffe in a kid's drawing.

  1. No one around him is able to give him a filter to not say dumb shit that makes him look bad.
  2. Like 2020 election, he can't lie his way about corruption/destruction of America (Covid management was bad) promising to undo it. So he has to talk about "nothing".

Flexing on the world, for no gain, does show how cowardly and sycophantic that world is and continues to be. It's still late stage empire behaviour and collapse acceleration.
