They didn't "invade." They did an infiltration over time to to kidnap Maduro and then blew stuff up as cover for the extraction.
Foreign troops on the ground does not constitute a country being invaded? Absolutely ridiculous
This is not an invasion. An invasion implies occupation of territory by troops, and would be disastrous for the US.
Right, and the entire reason the US has done this is so they can install their puppet and occupy Venezuela as an oil colony. This was an invasion. A targeted one but absolutely is intended to directly lead to an occupation
If you want to be pedantic any infiltration could be considered an invasion. But invasion usually connotates an army taking territory.
An invasion is done en mass and in the open with the intention of holding territory. This was a raid or an incursion.
