Following a controversial joke about the Pearl Harbor attack, Donald Trump confirmed that Japan declined his request to help secure the Middle Eastern Strait of Hormuz.
Went to a Japanese restaurant and they were playing Japanese TV news on the Pearl Harbor comment. The staff and even the owner came out to watch. I just cringed… America is too embarrassing.
Ok, Mr. strict rules, I was aiming at North and South, or Central as well if you want to be fancy. But following your strict rules, America also isn’t the name of a country. It’s just a part of one. Canada and Brazil are also a part of America, it’s just that US Americans don’t know there’s a world outside their own country.
it’s just the US by the way, “America” is the name of 2 continents.
Sadly, it’s quasi-official to say America as a stand-in for USA. Just like “Larger Middle East” became a real term after Americans (sic) used it for some time, probably to justify atrocities.

Always has been mate. And it’s just the US by the way, “America” is the name of 2 continents.
North America and South America are the continents names in English, they’re not called America and America.

Many US Americans consider Kentucky the middle east so the fact it’s a term based on the world map is at least some credits to them lol.

But the US is the name of two countries. How do I know if you’re talking about USA or Mexico?
Mexico dropped the United States of Mexico a couple of years ago. So it only is USA.
Did they? Wiki still lists it as EUM.
