- gumby 6y agoThanks, that’s an important though subtle distinction. People merely crossing a border don’t constitute a “war”, much less “invasion” in any sense and I hadn’t intended to imply such. I edited it to “mass migration” with the intent of addressing both refugee population as well as associated, perhaps “non-civilian” is the term, people either/both pushing and accompanying.
