Well, she doesn't develop the headline at all, but at least she has the germ of the idea. USE THIS TERM, a terrorist attack, instead of "war." Words matter. Language structures reality (as the academics have been pointing out for years). Use this word in your writings about the event. Russia's terrorist attack against Ukraine. Just like 9/11 (only more deaths).
