    “Special Military Operation” name was directly inspired by USA calling Korean War “Police Action”.

      Ah the Korean War, also sometimes called “the Forgotten War” by pundits and journos who’s fucking job it is to not allow shit like this to be “forgotten”.

      They won’t let you forget Tiananmen square for a minute, but the war with the highest percentage of civilan casualties in history, with over 10 million deaths which is higher proportion that Soviet losses in WW2, the bombing campaign so genocidal that by the US army general admission there was simply nothing left to bomb when they were done… Oopsie, we forgot!

    Who the fuck is this Gunther Eagleman dipshit? He sees U.S. airstrikes against Iran and concludes there is no war between the U.S. and Iran.

    We are not at war with Iran. We have always been at war with Iran.

      A decent chunk of Americans learned about this idea from George Carlin, which is sad to think about.
