Is an Orwellian inspired New Speak word, popularized by a notable dictator, to describe a scorched-earth war of unimaginable devastation that seeks to eliminate all people that don't swear fealty to the dictator. This specific type of war begins with military exercises and conscripts being told that they're going into a territory just for training purposes. Upon arriving in a foreign land, the military orders their troops to commit themselves to destroying apartment buildings, schools, hospitals, power plants, sewage and waste water treatment plants, indiscriminately killing civilians, as well as committing numerous war crimes. During public interviews, special-military-operation will be used in place of all of these horribly messy details in an attempt to sanitize a brutal and inhumane war that the dictator has instigated.
To spend several days watching news broadcasts on the main state channels, as well as surveying state-controlled newspapers, is to witness the extent of the Kremlinβs efforts to sanitize its war with the Orwellian term βspecial-military-operationβ β and to make all news coverage align with that message.
