What counts as war and why does it matter?
Manage episode 364170692 series 3358108
When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Vladimir Putin very deliberately referred to it as a ‘special military operation’, not an act of war.
He’s far from unique in refusing to call a war by its name; calling a conflict a war has consequences. And over the course of history, very different types of conflict have had the label applied to, or denied, them.
In this, the second of three short conversations, Jack McDonald, the author of 'What is War For?', tells George Miller what’s at stake in calling something a war.
