Interesting choice of word to describe a country trying to survive against an aggressor that started the war


[flagged]


It's not a civil war if it was started by Russian special forces and continued with Russian soldiers, "advisors" and weapons.

It was far closer to an actual invasion than it was to any form of uprising.


That sure is a peculiar way to talk about the large number of clandestine Russian troops that were sent into donesk to take it over in 2014.


Col Jacques Baud has documented that those "Russian troops" or "little green men" were Russian speaking Ukrainian nationals who pulled off their insignia and switched sides.


Yeah a known Russian propagandist would say that, obviously. He’s specifically know for reciting Russian dissinformation on Ukraine.

It’s very very tellingyour go to source was a Russian disinfo guy.

Col Jacques baud per Wikipedia: He has been criticized for his relaying of several conspiracy theories, his denial of the Syrian regime's responsibility for several chemical attacks and for his pro-Vladimir Putin positions, including through the sharing of disinformation during Russia's invasion of Ukraine


Yeah and the rebels just found those T-72B3 tanks in storage somewhere. lmfao

Pray tell, why is it "complicated"? And what's the situation behind the cliche that you're "more educated" in?


Colour me as old fashion but in my book when a country invades another, it's an aggression.

Especially when the one that started it seems inclined to target civilians that they supposedly want to help. Unless you also consider this a "mass media cliché".


Kidnapping Maduro comes under what category?


Aggression
