Not the issue at question. I'm discussing only the use of propaganda terminology by people here who should know better.
On the contrary, peole here are much more often on the "invasion" extreme of the "invasion" - "operation" - "liberation" spectrum, I bet without even noticing.

The War on Terror has been a fucking disaster for humanity.
Yeah but it hadn't officially been declared a War™ by wesyteen media yet so that doesn't count

Putin should have gone up to Azov and told them to "Cut it out!" right? Russia and the Donbas republics already tried diplomatic solutions for eight years, the shelling continued throughout. The Ukraine government was either uninterested in peace or unable to control parts of their military.

I mean they did. They spent 8 years trying to get Ukraine to comply with the Minsk 2 agreements.

There's no need or benefit to using US-style strategies. Russia pinned down the Ukranian army in the west and (probably) destroyed their ability to redeploy to the east. Destroying civilian infrastructure benefits the US because they can then use the IMF to put the country into debt bondage. Ukrainian civilians are blameless in this, the Ukrainians voted for a candidate that promised peace with Russia and the Donbas who then did a full 180 and escalated the shelling and attacks instead. I even have sympathy for the common soldiers since about eight years ago they refused to start shooting and running over their countrymen in the Donbas. That's why the post-Maidan Kiev regime started using the fascist paramilitaries we have now, because they were willing to follow orders kill anybody.
Which city bombings in particular are you taking issue with? Mariupol has been the city most heavily shelled but it's part of the Donbas and Azov was heavily entrenched there. The fuel and ammo depots that were bombed in other cities would have been used by the Ukrainian military to try to reinforce the forces in Donbas. Ukrainians are reloading their artillery in malls, mustering infantry in schools, and encouraging every man, woman, redditor, and child to become partisans. Russia can't do anything about the Ukrainians shelling Russian occupied areas without shooting back, that's just what war is.
So just invade the parts of Donbass that weren't controlled by the DPR and LPR, while facing the full might of the Ukrainian military in that small area?
