      How?

      One is strike operations on individual vessels operating in international waters and, while illegal and reprehensible, doesn’t even come close to being equivalent to an amphibious landing invasion of a nation utilizing all branches of the US military.

      Are you even remotely serious?

        Your original argument was that this conflict was opened by kidnapping the head of a state.

        Faced with a counterpoint, you’re arguing it’s not like a much more serious invasion.

        True, but that’s not invalidating the fact that it was not opened by a kidnapping.

          And?

          Please point me to a single comment I’ve made on any post in the last 24 hours that indicates, in any way, that I don’t consider the arbitrary abduction of the head of a foreign government to be a serious breach of international law.

          You cannot.

          What I won’t let slide without argument are false equivalencies, half-truths, or misrepresentations of law.

          When horrible shit happens is the time for more accuracy and specificity, not less.

            Moving the goalposts is an informal fallacy in which evidence presented in response to a specific claim is dismissed and some other (often greater) evidence is demanded.
