How?
One is strike operations on individual vessels operating in international waters and, while illegal and reprehensible, doesn’t even come close to being equivalent to an amphibious landing invasion of a nation utilizing all branches of the US military.
Are you even remotely serious?
Your original argument was that this conflict was opened by kidnapping the head of a state.
Faced with a counterpoint, you’re arguing it’s not like a much more serious invasion.
True, but that’s not invalidating the fact that it was not opened by a kidnapping.
And?
Please point me to a single comment I’ve made on any post in the last 24 hours that indicates, in any way, that I don’t consider the arbitrary abduction of the head of a foreign government to be a serious breach of international law.
You cannot.
What I won’t let slide without argument are false equivalencies, half-truths, or misrepresentations of law.
When horrible shit happens is the time for more accuracy and specificity, not less.
