someone on the slovak radio devín im listening to rn just called the 1968 invasion of czechoslovakia the "first special operation"
Follow

@piggo BTW, the first special operation was 1956 in Hungary, not 1968.

@FailForward ah i didnt even know that, the whole 20th century was kinda skipped in history classes..

they basically ended with hitler, the teacher was more interested in middle ages...

@piggo re skipped: well, perhaps the most important part as that time is the source of all sorts of grudges people hold against each other still today

@piggo without knowledge of history, we are doomed to believe in fake histories created by stupid and malevolent.

We were not thought many things like this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish%E or that en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovak_i .

BTW, only now I noticed the two parties at war in Czechoslovak-Polish war flied exactly the same flags. Didn't realize it before...

@piggo ad the "first" special operation conversation we had a couple of days ago. This is very good reading on the list of "special operations": nitter.net/MaximEristavi/statu

Just counting from WWII, even 1956 wasn't the first one (I didn't know that), if we count the violent pacification of East Germans in 1953: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Ger
