The term 'war' cannot be uttered in Russia at this point in time. The phrase to be used? 'Military operation'.
I sat and pondered upon this.
Do you remember the Revolutionary Military Operation of 1776?
Do you remember the Spanish-American Military Operation?
Do you remember the Civil Military Operation?
Do you remember World Military Operation I?
Do you remember World Military Operation II?
Do you remember the Korean Military Operation?
Do you remember the Vietnam Military Operation?
Do you remember the Falklands Military Operation?
Do you remember Gulf Military Operation I and II?
Do you remember the Kosovo Military Operation?
It probably wouldn't take much for even normal people (beyond Russia) to get into this habit, and just label everything a military operation. We could end all war....at least in terms of language use.
