    Lmao didn't the media just spend 2 years undermining the phrase "military operation" as propaganda and now they're just using it without even blinking?

        Ahh so it is, I missed that somehow. Natopedia is kinda media in its own way though, especially given that 100% of its realtime content is derived entirely from western media.

    America: "we must stop this war against Armenia, think of the children"

    Also America: "we must keep funding Ukraine in a never ending war."

    Ok, listen up tankies:

    "Military Operation" is just fancy speak for a complicated thing you just don't understand but is completely necessary. Russia was just trying to trick us by lying about their illegal invasion of Ukraine! (Putin should be arrested by big cop Joe for this!) They used the term "military operation" to trick people, they actually meant "Evil invasion" because you can't trust anything they say, only what the western press says about them.
