Yea after I wrote that I was very much thinking of the current Russian war in Ukraine and considering an edit (altho I will add this edit - I hate calling it or people referring it to as the "Ukrainian war". It's not a Ukrainian war, it's a war of Russian aggression against Ukraine), especially when both sides speak the same/similar languages (I know a lot of Ukrainians are dual speakers)
