And of course, we can definitely allow others to determine whether it is a snipe - or whether your reaction is what creates a dialogue which is becoming adversarial.
I suppose if one wishes to be a victim of their own snipes, one could look at it as an adversarial situation. However, being the saint that some think I am (lol...not even dead yet...wonder how the Vatican would handle that), I find advocating the deliberate ramming of another vessel criminal and endangering the lives of sailors is, at the least, irresponsible and deadly and certainly an act of war (in international waters).

I am an American. That's the way most of us put it, just matter of factly. They are plain words, those four: you could write them on your thumbnail, or sweep them clear across this bright autumn sky. But remember too, that they are more than just words. They are a way of life. So whenever you speak them; speak them firmly, speak them proudly, speak them gratefully. I am an American. ...a tradition
