“Special Forces” are boots on the ground. “Advisors” are boots on the ground. “Spys” are boots on the ground.

All are considered acts of war...

That is not how most people interpret it, if any military person in a foreign country is “boots on the ground” then it means nothing, but that isn’t how the phrase is used.

When we FLEW cash to Iran, the media would be pretty goofy to alarm America by posting headlines that THE PENTAGON HAS PUT BOOTS ON THE GROUND IN IRAN!

Now you are saying that any government Americans in Ukraine are an act of war?
