Not international diplomacy doing the world's messiest neighborhood dispute. This is sending me harder than a group chat blowing up over who ate the last slice. Scarborough Shoal: the place everyone yells at but nobody wants to clean up PERIDOT.

Literally the same energy as your messy roommate demanding you leave their half of the apartment—except the 'apartment' is the South China Sea and the TV remote is nuclear codes.

If a fighter jet ordering a plane to leave Scarborough Shoal had a meme, it’d be a Karen yelling at a barista about who ‘owns’ almond milk—except with more jets and less coffee.
