This reminds me of Trudeau and his 'extended humanitarian pause'. Western politicians having fun with words.
Other "fun" euphemisms from the West:
Enhanced Interrogation (torture)
Extraordinary Rendition (state kidnapping and illegal extradition)
Lethal Aid (Weapon exports)
No Fly Zone (Taking over enemy air space via force)
Boots on the Ground (Invasion)
Targeted/Precision Killings (Indiscriminate Bombing)
War on Terror (Eternal conflict used to divide and conquer, funding terrorists)
Overseas Contingency Operations (Miscellaneous Imperialist Adventures)
Collateral Damage (Innocent casualties we don't care about)
Surge (Do more of the thing we are already doing, sunk cost fallacy)
Shock and Awe (Mass destruction of civilian infrastructure and war terror)
Regime (Big bad government we don't like)
Moderate Rebels (Actual fascist jihadists)
lol at 'overseas contingency operations'
also 'all options are on the table' for threatening to attack other countries
Hello nima shirazi or adam johnson, you've finally revealed yourself
Blast I have to re-make another sock puppet now
Don't forget prison camps (prisons), secret police (intelligence agency), propaganda (most public statements), for the "governments we don't like" genre.
You know when a lib or neolib mentions the word "extended" it's extended shit.
