Please stop calling it an "invasion" or a "war" and getting all paniced about it.

It was just a raid. They tossed the crook and his wife onto a helicopter and left.

They did not land a large force to attempt to take and hold territory.

They did have to take out some anti-aircraft systems to keep the helicopter from being shot down, but those were the only targets other than the dictator and his wife.

It lasted less than 3 hours.

Calm down folks.

We did not start a new war. We just grabbed a criminal and took him to where he could meet justice.

United States forces went into a sovereign foreign country and kidnapped the legitimate leader of that country and another of its citizens.

If that isn't a pretext for war, I don't know what is.

@DunningKruger Then you obviously do not know.

@DunningKruger Legitimate leader is debatable, but the US did indeed invade another country and captured their leader.

It IS a pretext for war.
