I fail to see the relevance of this tangent. You haven’t even specified what the hypothetical inadmissible charges would be.
It seems like you are trying to say that an unsuccessful invasion should not count as an invasion, which is absurd. If Canada sent 100k troops to DC to take over America but they were all promptly killed, would that not count as an invasion?
- chasil 10mo agoAxios has a new article with information that is germane. '...no U.S. troops would be on the ground "if the vice president does what we want..."' '[Rodriguez] also left the door open to a dialogue with the Trump administration, calling for "respectful relations," according to the Associated Press.' https://www.axios.com/2026/01/03/trump-maduro-venezuela-delcy-rodriguez https://www.axios.com/2026/01/03/trump-maduro-venezuela-delc... My hope is that the use of the word "invasion" is premature. I fear that it will come to pass.
- johnnyanmac 10mo agoYou're pointing to an article with the US threatening to do it again, and you're still trying to argue this isn't an invasion? The semantics are cute for technical documents. But please get some perspective. Buildings and destroyed and innocent lives lost. I don't care what you call it, it's bad.
- chasil 10mo agoYour argument is almost as bad as your vocabulary.
