“But you wouldn’t agree with the list, because “invasion” doesn’t also include bombing other nations, does it? Else we’re still number one in the comparison! Yea, number one!”

Invasion means sending forces into another’s country for the purpose of conquest or plunder.

Aerial bombing or lobbing rockets across the border is not invasion. However, such actions often precede invasion. But they are two separate and distinct actions that can stand alone.

Congratulations on a clever parsing of aggressive military acts by a party against another party.

By your parsing and of invasions alone, how did our invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan and continuing invasion in Syria do?

When one descends into the rhetorical weeds, we shall agree that Russia has invaded Ukraine, and that we invaded more nations than Russia.

Given today's statement by Tulsi Gabbard that the Biden administration and current "elitist cabal" in the Democrat Party are "warmongers," where does your political support for an American party lie?
