Email on communications policy reminds worker of responsibility to ‘be impartial’
The United Nations has emailed staff advising them not to refer to the situation in Ukraine as a “war” or “invasion”, in a move to balance political sensitivities as powerful member state Russia cracks down domestically on those who use the words. Instead, UN staff have been instructed to use the terms “conflict” or “military offensive” to describe Russia’s invasion of its neighbour, which has killed hundreds of civilians and forced two million people to flee the country. In an email to staff on Monday, the UN communications department instructed employees not to describe the situation as a war and not to add the Ukrainian flag to personal or official social media accounts or websites. “Some specific examples of language to use/not use at the moment,” read the email which has been seen by the Irish Times. “[USE] ‘conflict’ or ‘military offensive’ and NOT ‘war’ or ‘invasion’ when referring to the situation in Ukraine”.
Another brilliant idea from the geniuses who run our world.
One of N reasons (where N is a really big number) that the UN is more useless than Slow Jow & the Ho.
Bwahahahahahaha, how woke of them.
Gasp, a CNN moment. That’s “Slow Joe”, not “Slow Jow”.
Our war in Korea (1951-1953) was fought under the UN flag and they insisted in calling it a “conflict.” It was a bloody war!!!
war
noun
a conflict carried on by force of arms, as between nations or between parties within a nation; warfare, as by land, sea, or air.
right - its a kinetic
where have we heard that before?
It was a bloody war!!!
N as in nothin’
The U.N. is a hive of scum and villainy.
Move it to either Kabul or Mogadishu.

Our war on terror begins with al Qaeda, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated.
Unreal.
“Minor incursion.”
It’s an invasion. If someone broke into your house and threatened your kids old you call 911 and say “we have a conflict here, can you send someone”
they all want to live in Fisher Price world where there are no sharp edges and all smooth curves and soft surfaces...
You mean like the Vietnam CONFLICT.
Or the Japs’ “visit” in “Pearl Harbour..
Okay, so just a peaceful wandering across the border.
