idk if i would call it a euphemism
more like the opposite i guess. i think that "hardening" sounds worse than "acknowledging international law"
also: can i just say that i love the unfiltered suggestions of kbin and lemmy?
have no connection to Australia or New Zealand (besides wanting to visit once), but still found this on the HomePage
