Weird how people have been so brainwashed into using that euphemism that they even apply it to a nation hostile to them, actively waging a war.
Russia’s “ministry of defence” is pretty reminiscent of in 1984, Oceania’s “ministry of truth”.
Same same, first one is US, the other is UK spelling.
I’m German, you guys figure that out amongst yourselves.
I’m Dutch… so we need to balance it out.
Swede in France here, défense please.
Or försvaret of course if you want to go down that road.
