White House clarifies that Vance meant diplomatic 'instruments', not nuclear weapons

American politicians once again create confusion with their words, while in Liepāja everyone understands each other without translation.
Washington this week saw another American communication scandal that would seem like just another day to visitors of Pētera Street cafés in Liepāja. Vice President Vance somewhere in Hungary spoke about 'instruments that have not yet been decided to be used,' and all of America started solving riddles.
The White House hastily clarified that by 'instruments' they meant diplomatic ones, not nuclear weapons. 'Literally nothing that Vance said means what you absolute idiots think,' announced a White House representative, using the kind of diplomatic tone that would be quite normal in Liepāja.
'Americans see everything more dramatically than necessary,' comments local political expert Uldis. 'Here on Pētera Street, when someone says they have 'instruments,' everyone understands they're talking about keys or a screwdriver. But Americans immediately think of nuclear weapons.'
While US politicians explain their words on social media, Riga is still trying to understand what 'strategic communication' means. In Liepāja we call it 'honest conversation,' and everything is clear.
