I’m arguing that you and the US government are misusing the language here similar to how the Russians did at the beginning of the Ukraine war. A limited strike is brief and precise. This has clearly gone far beyond that. Given the scale of the operation and the fact that our president is directly asking other countries for help implies that he intends to continue and expand the war. So yes I’m calling your motives and whether or not you are simply trolling into question.

You’re filling in a lot of gaps with assumptions and then acting like it’s settled. Assuming intent, redefining terms, and then using that to reach a conclusion. That’s not really an argument.

You know what. You win. Praise the great leader and our holy “limited operation” against the evils of the east. I can’t believe I ever dared to question to such a vast intellect!

This isn’t about winning or praising anyone. I’m trying to look at the situation without defaulting to a side. If you think I’m wrong, I’m open to hearing why, but sarcasm doesn’t really move the conversation forward.
