Unwilling to declare their love affair with Putin at an end, the wackadoo
Goofy Ol' Poopy-pants contingent in the House instead rages against
the unbridled imperialism of JAI-nah.
"In a Barbie world, who controls the South China Sea?
That’s the question a handful of Republican lawmakers — not to mention much of Southeast Asia — is asking thanks to a background detail in the upcoming “Barbie” movie due out later this month.
The detail in question is a dashed line drawn on a map off the coast of Asia that critics have identified as the nine-dash line, a contested maritime boundary that Beijing draws more than a thousand miles off its own coast to claim the vast majority of the South China Sea as its territory."

Stirred to "action", a MAGA-turd from WI upchucked this spew:
“While it may just be a Barbie map in a Barbie world, the fact that a cartoonish,
crayon-scribbled map seems to go out of its way to depict the PRC’s unlawful territorial claims illustrates the pressure that Hollywood is under to please CCP
censors,” Gallagher said in a statement to POLITICO. “I hope Warner Brothers
clarifies that the map was not intended to endorse any territorial claims and was in fact, the work of a formerly plastic anthropomorphic doll.”
Good thing the House doesn't have an important business to attend to.
