It’s an international incident because it requires international intervention to solve.

If you look up the definitions of “international” and “incident” in any dictionary it should be pretty straight-forward to understand why anyone would use that term to describe the situation at hand. But somehow you’ve decided it’s not that - but you can’t say why specifically, nor can you define what qualifies as an international incident.

But he owes you an explanation?

Ok 🤣

Ok. Trivially it's an international incident as this is occurring in the border region between The US State, Texas and The free and soverign state of Tamaulipas, Mexico. So what?

You said it wasn’t a big deal because it wasn’t an international incident.

Honestly what the fuck are you trying to say?

No I said it wasn't a big deal at all calling it an "international incident" changes nothing because at the end of the day it's just a fence.
