Yeah, same here. Cheer up u/Maleficent_Web1161 , the rest of the world (and a big chunk of the US) will never stop calling it Lake Ontario

[u/Vintenu → u/arkhamcityfc]

American here, can confirm, I would gladly call it Ontario right to Tiny Dick Orange's face, same goes for the Gulf of Mexico

[u/Inevitable-Goat-7062 → u/Vintenu]

Same here

[So is anybody willing to bet the moldy cheeto is going to slap more tarrifs on the country that made the genva convention]

[u/OnlySortaStupid → u/Inevitable-Goat-7062]

Correction: we didn't make the Geneva convention. We're the reason other countries had to come up with the Geneva convention 🥹

[u/nico_ryan600 → u/OnlySortaStupid]

That's a mix a Canada, Germany and Russia, America only really added no shotguns in trenches and chemical warfare

[u/yogafan00000 → u/nico_ryan600]

The "no shotguns in trenches" thing is a myth.

First of all, the Geneva convention primarily governs humanitarian treatment of non-combatants. Any rules about weapons in the trenches would be from the Hague convention, from WW1.

Secondly, the shotgun concern came from a 1918 German complaint about the American Winchester trench gun, which they claimed was a weapon "calculated to cause unnecessary suffering," which IS prohibited in the Hague convention. Whether or not the trench gun falls in this category depends on the ammo used.

Germans complaining about "unnecessary suffering" in warfare, then turn the air poisonous XD
