alt Hacker NewsProbably we can distinguish between military invasion, and the use (arguably miss use) of the word colloquially in the US for home intruders.
Per the Cambridge Dictionary: "an occasion when an army or country uses force to enter and take control of another country"
In our case no 'taking control' has occurred, so this is not an invasion.

I'm sure that whoever follows up Maduro will be completely confident in the fact that they will be able to set policy free of foreign influence.
