I’m not arguing against the Wikipedia definition because it does not disagree with mine. It says “usually in large numbers”, aka not necessarily large numbers. It says goals are complex but “normally involves militarily occupying”, aka not necessarily occupying.
If you have to spend that many words explaining how it doesn't disagree with you, it disagrees with you.
You'd make an awful lawyer with that mentality.
Anyways, Trump removed all ambiguiti today saying the US is gonna run Venezuela. It invaded and took over.
You chose a definition that is not concise and then selectively misread it.
I don’t know how to politely say that your misreading is why I needed so many words.
"Selectively misread" it? What are we calling having to deemphasize key components then? "Discriminately highlighting"?
