You are, evidently. Now there may be failure of *understanding*.

If nothing else, remember the context: Supposedly trying to defuse an
*extremely* tense international situation where the threat of nukes has
been bandied about. Regardless of how *you* feel about the term, don't you
think it's *daft* to use it in this context?

Or just take the HUGE instability of Pakistan at the moment. Careless
offense like this could percipiate a Talibanesque coup. You don't think
this would endager our forces there?
