How very Orwellian. The Russians are still trying to deny reality about being at war with Ukraine. Btw, are the Putinbots here on FR allowed to use the word "front"?

Some still insist on using the words "Special Military operation," or even "liberation" to describe their invasion.
Amazing, ain't it?

I really can’t make fun of that, because we do the exact same thing. Korea was a police action. Vietnam was, I don’t know. But it wasn’t a war because war was never declared. Then came further police actions, kinetic actions, etc.
In a way, we are perhaps worse than Russia in this regard. We pretend to have the moral high ground. But we go to war rather casually. We just don’t call it a war.

There are “Putinbots” here? Yikes. Glad I missed them.

What is more Orwellian than our involvement in a foreign war that doesn’t concern us at all?

The russian army is doing a fine job discrediting itself, without any help from journalists.

Not every front is a War Front

What do you call it when your front is your rear?

There may well be a few moles here on FreeRepublic on both sides of the Ukrainian conflict (war), but there are valid arguments concerning our involvement. It pains me to see differences of opinion here reduced to name-calling and insult.
