"Russia plans biggest war in Europe since 1945"

says BoZo.

Wouldn't any war in Europe be the biggest since 1945? I suppose we had the Bosnia conflict but the Balkans have always been fighting, does that count?

If we're not counting the Balkans then the annexation of Crimea would rate pretty highly. So that would make "Russia planning the second biggest war in Europe since 1945".

Oh wait, there was the Russian - Georgia war too...

Ok, "Russia planning the third biggest war in Europe since 1945"

Of course if the Ukraine war is biggest (assuming there is one) then the headline will be correct.

How about: "Russia plans its third illegal landgrab since 1945"

The Bosnia conflict was a result of the break up of Yugoslavia, without Tito holding it together the country fell apart.
