It was suggested that this is quite an offensive position. However, to me, it seems like normal diplomacy and how countries relate to each other.

Is this a mistaken notion?
Not necessarily by means of arms... you can try to help your ally disolve the problem by using diplomacy. Say if you were in a governmental position and don't agree with your ally country's actions, would you still hold this position? But yeah, I don't think it's offensive though, it's the internet.
