Yeah he called it a special operation because "war" sounds bad and he's taunting the west. And using the word "solution" isn't always a reference to Hitler (it virtually never is)... The mental gymnastic is insane...

The US had plenty of "military operations"/"special operations" and "solutions" for Iraq and Afghanistan, they killed plenty of civilians yet they're no Nazi and the president isn't Hitler.
