Putin declares war on world.
Hyperbole anyone. Man if Putin is declaring war on the world, Hitler must have declared war on the galaxy and Rome on the Universe. I am all in favor of teaching English classes and a Anti-hyperbole 101 class as requirements to get a degree in journalism. Reporters ‘always’ report things a ‘jillion times’ worse than they are it's putting the whole space time continuum at risk!
Some things are serious enough that the hype just makes them unbelievable.
