Just like the U.S. did to Afganistan, Iraq and Vietnam. At least that bear is doing it to a politician. Where is Davy Crockett when you need him?

All of which entered the common lexicon as wars, including the Korean War which started as a UN "police action" in response to the North Korean invasion .

Nope, not Korea. That was legit. Not sure what your lexicon concern is though. Take one out for a test drive and find out for yourself.

Other than the U.S., who was "invading" the three U.S. victims in my post?

In this war, we have seen Russian armor negated by man-portable anti-tank weapons. Russians have been inching forward behind artillery strikes, and they are likewise shelling cities. But the weapon discussed here, the Switchblade drone, is smart, cheap, lots of range, and easily transported and launched. Strikes me as offering the ability to Ukraine to effectively neutralize artillery emplacements if they get enough of them.

On edit: especially if someone with satellites is telling you just where the artillery is....
