      Soldiers of Russia enter Ukraine and kill Ukrainian soliders. How would you call it if not war?

        Excuse them, we usually hear “war” when it should be called “piracy”, “massacre”, “imperialist conquest”, “genocide”… Either way, this conflict is showing me that I would rather be attacked by Russia instead of any Western country and even my own country (we had a Civil War already), frankly.

        Did he really unironically play the “special military operation” card. Wtf

          I think I simply don’t share your view that it takes violence/terror against civilians for a conflict to be labeled a war (at least that’s what your previous comment seems to imply, you may correct me at any time).

          I doubt you are incapable, so I will just call it intellectual dishonesty.

          Thanks, very nice from you, comrade :D

      “It’s just an exercise”

      “It’s just a special military operation”
