The tag implication #44271 russo-ukrainian_war -> politics has been approved.

Reason: I PROBABLY PUT THE IMPLICATION BACKWARDS, PLEASE BARE WITH ME AS I DUMB MY WAY AROUND THE SITE

Almost certain this should imply politics because of the nature of war.

Searching without the politics tags only brings up two posts: russo-ukrainian_war -politics (Both of which should probably be tagged with politics anyway)

EDIT: The tag implication russo-ukrainian_war -> politics (forum #335624) has been approved by @gattonero2001.

I don't think we should be making this standard. Any posts which are not political in content should not contain politics.
If these posts are politicspost #3302111 post #3277421 post #3258521
Then so are these post #3237852 post #1689563 post #873551 post #2741799 post #3101137 post #3101187

You didn't put it backwards Chaser-san

War is political really.

Most modern wars are, but I don’t think war should imply politics as fictional wars may not be political, and premodern wars often were more religious than political, or driven by other causes.

The Russo-Ukrainian War is quite political, though. Insofar as any post can be definitively identified as referring to that war in particular, I’d say it counts as an instance of politics.

Do any of the following posts reference war^{in terms of active conflict} in any context other than the time period in which they've been posted?

Does military_uniform + any identifiable realworld insignia = politics?

I'd personally say it almost falls into propaganda so yes

Can you please name a war that can't be broken down to politics?

Most of the Crusades were fought for purely religious reasons.

The Emu War.

None of these scream Politics to me. -1.

Religious politics, yes. However, the soldiers themselves were not politics. They were soldiers. Politics would be the people in charge or commentary on the war.
In other words, an image of the pope is politics (Clearly, there needs to be something more, like a leader directing, at the bare minimum, but even that can be just Commanding, not Politics)

religious politics are still politics

I mean, patriotism implies politics.
See these posts:
post #503981 post #2335881 post #934419

If being patriotic about someone's country is considered politics, I'm definitely sure that war would be considered politics(whether it be in support of or against). Not talking about fictional war, or ancient rome shit, but stuff like modern day war.
If it was any other country vs country, I'd also suggest a implication of politics.

As for

Depends, if it is just a soldier wearing a uniform, sure, it is just a flag and isn't deserving of the politics tag(In fact, not even sure why the goose or beaver one is tagged with the russo-ukraine war tag). If the uniform has the Russian Z with it being crossed out as part of the uniform(eg: the neko-arc one), then it is part of world politics.

Generally when people talk about “politics,” they’re talking about governmental politics. Sure, the word “politics” can be extended to things like religion, but that isn’t very useful for our purposes. You can also say that office politics is politics, but business does not imply politics, and neither does religion.
