You're mixing up the propaganda phrases, that's Russia's stance in Ukraine. Trump's is this is "an excursion", totally different things.

He called it a military operation between the comment above and yours at the press conference going on right now.

He didn't call it a special one though.

As a Russian emigrant, I feel this whole war is a severe case of déjà vu. It's as if the US government is going through a stolen Russian playbook, appropriating everything.

"Special operation"? Check. "$EnemyCapital in 3 days"? Check. "We haven't even started yet"? Check. "Goodwill gestures"? Check.

(It's actually a common joke on the Russian Internet. So common, in fact, that it has already stopped being funny.)

“an excursion” is even more mad. He heard the word “incursion” and thought that it sounded cool if he posted it
