We didn’t use to call it war, so you’re wrong about that.

We used the term “intervention” to describe limited military action. Countries throughout history have conducted interventions as opposed to full-scale war.

Russia’s assault on Ukraine isn’t an intervention and is instead a war and we know this because of the size and scale of the operation but also the intentions of the operation, which, are to take over the entire country of Ukraine.




Sounds like a bunch of wars we were engaged in the ME for no reason.


Don't you mean interventions? ;-)


cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.
