9/11 was an attack.
No foreign forces occupied territory of the United States, which would be the criteria for an invasion.
These are all well-established definitions in the legality of war.
Edit- and before we take the pacifist “there should be no legal war” approach, that may be so, but we live in a world where international law delineates just and unjust war, and applies strict definitions to do so, so when discussing conflict happening in the real world and not theoretically, it must be done within the confines of its practical definitions.
so back up a bit. whats our disagreement? :p cause that makes sense too. see all war is illegal. nation states doing nation state shit.
all military ops are byproducts of nation state decisions. even if it is sinking a fishing boat murdering its drivers.
Dis you reply before my edit?
It might be the case that war should be illegal, but it isn’t. International law delineates just and unjust conflict, and when talking about real-world war rather than theoreticals, they must be viewed in light of existing laws, not what we want the laws to be.
