Okay but you chose to point to the Mirriam-Webster definition that doesn’t say anything about a standing army or holding territory.

"the incursion of an army for conquest or plunder."

We sent in an army for conquest but now you don’t like that definition anymore.

What exactly was the object of conquest?

"something conquered, especially : territory appropriated in war"

Is this Maduro and his wife?

The object of conquest remains to be seen, and if a standing army is used to achieve it.

  • We have the president of the United States, who ordered the assault, saying openly that “we are going to run the country” and you ask what the object of conquest was?
