@piggo BTW, the first special operation was 1956 in Hungary, not 1968.
@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": https://nitter.net/MaximEristavi/status/1495323069539405826
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: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_German_uprising_of_1953
