Sparrow summarily executed

[Red Harvest]

Seriously though, it's almost embarassing. When other nations get into the news because of scandals, riots, elections or what not...we get into the news because some guy kills a sparrow and we treat it like a fucking genocide

"Almost" ? It is embarassing. It shows a basic lack of common sense. And people wonder why the U.S. is reluctant to sign certain military treaties?

(And I frequently point out U.S. foibles over things like the "Pledge" or nudity or sex.)

Nope it's not, I don't feel embarassed, so the ussage is correct

Military treaties? I must have missed something? Are air rifles considered mass destruction weapons?

Every nation occasionally comes into the news with comparable stupidity. I distinctly recall that in the US there was an investigation wether a former president had used his weiner (an important national asset, apparently) in an extramarital affair, and then tried to impeach him when he lied about it
