When a standing army is involved, then we will all agree that it is an invasion.

If it comes by financial aid to the elected president and oil deals to rehabilitate PDVSA, then it is not.

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.
