It is indeed an SMO as declared by Putin in his address to the Russian Nation - taken you a long time to stop being silly on this one
Now, before you get way to drippy with faux outrage and start espousing the tragic loss of lives......you ought to reflect on a few things, because words do matter
YOU constantly talk of Russian invasion and expansion - only you can't and won't back it up - this SMO is a buffer zone to protect those Russian / Ukrainian citizens that the controlled and corrupt US and unelected EU grubs have both facilitated the gradual slaughter of following their overthrowing of the government back in 2014
Idiots like you talk of war, takeover of country, tragic slaughter of Ukrainians, overthrow of government, brave Ukrainians halting the advance blah blah blah - but you never tell the truth - you never point out that the Russian lines have simply maintained the buffer zone, that the "invasion" has not happened, that the government has not been attacked. Most strikingly you fail to mention that Ukrainians are being rounded up and sent to the buffer zone - referred to by many as "the meat grinder" and that the corrupts are controlling this
It's Russia demilitarising Ukraine - it's dreadful but the corrupts seem determined to continue
What are you talking about re NATO expansion - you going off on a tangent....?
