The lack of specificity reminds me of the joke about the Russians getting arrested for holding up blank signs that actually came true https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-war-invasion-protests-police-arrest-activists-holding-blank-signs-paper-1687603

Edit: apparently the blank sign thing goes back farther than I realized https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blank_paper_protest
