I agree that the Russian separatists have committed atrocities, and so have certain factions inside the Ukrainian rebels. But this constant use of the word “terrorist” is getting old. It’s political Orwellian “newspeak” in my opinion. I recall when certain Afghan rebels were called “ freedom fighters”. Of course, when they crossed us, that’s where they became “terrorists”.
War in general, is terrorism, if you’ve got bombs being dropped in your neighborhood. But the use of the word “terrorist” is specifically being used to evoke negative emotions without thoughtful deliberation.
There may come a day when law abiding tea party types, and supporters of the second amendment are called terrorists... oh wait, that’s already happened.
lol
It’s a tit for tat thing. Ukrainians are called “fascist junta”, Russian terrorists are just “terrorists”
