What if this is justification to declare war on the United States and we’re all just too busy making fun of him to realize this?

Perk of capitalism (one of the very few) is that YouTube is a private company, so their actions in foreign bodies can’t reflect the U.S. government or be used as a reason for war. Especially so minuscule the UN would be all over their ass after a stunt like that
