NATO chief confirms Russia's reason for Ukraine intervention

Lately, political leaders in the West have developed a shared speech defect. Fewer and fewer seem able to articulate straight-forward sentences without interjecting adjectives and reinforcements words. The defect is believed to be a mild form of Coprolalia (Tourette's syndrome) and related to obsessive-compulsory behaviour.

Of all the illustrious leaders of the West, no one seems to suffer more from this handicap than NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

Almost always the linguistically rather simple sentence "Russian invasion of Ukraine" comes out as "Russia's illegal, unprovoked, brutal full-scale aggression and invasion of Ukraine."

There may still be hope, though.
