Seems like a thin reason to invade a country

No invasion (yet). Just bombing.


We have at the absolute very least, invaded Venezuelan airspace.

This is not a useful delineation for what constitutes a military invasion. Invasion means landing troops and controlling territory.


Why am I seeing footage of Chinooks if it's only a bombing? Those are troop-carriers.

Based on what we're being told now, this was an extraction. (Slash detention. Slash kidnapping. In any case, requiring troop transport and extraction.)


And kidnapping their president in violation of every international law. No big deal /s

Seriously, I'm patiently waiting for the day America or Russia will do the same to Netanyahu, who is an actual war criminal. Not holding my breath.
