Reminds me of how long it took our media to start using the Liar word when it came to Trump. "Oh, can't say or print that! Someone may not like me for telling the obvious truth!"

It's a war. An invasion. Soldiers are dying in the thousands and civilians are being murdered. Call it what it is.

"Russia's war (of agression) on Ukraine" is my preference.

"Russia's genocidal war of agression on Ukraine" also works.
