I hate this "War on X" rhetoric. They're not going to bomb the ocean or send troops to shoot it, so why make it sound like it? Just say what they're actually going to do about it.
If war is a constant of humanity, better it be against the seaweed than the people. Jokes aside, I agree, but in general folks love dramatic names.
When the only thing you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail...
They’re gonna kill the whole ocean and conquer it in its entirety. Any resistance by the ocean will be futile!
In the article they did send the navy.
Whoever's dubbed it so doesn't know it's a quixotic effort they'll never win, just like the War on Drugs and the War on Terror.<p>A strange case of nominative determinism.
