    it’s just the US by the way, “America” is the name of 2 continents.

    Sadly, it’s quasi-official to say America as a stand-in for USA. Just like “Larger Middle East” became a real term after Americans (sic) used it for some time, probably to justify atrocities.

      Many US Americans consider Kentucky the middle east so the fact it’s a term based on the world map is at least some credits to them lol.
