Why do you think they will remove the option to buy the software?
They’ve kept the model for years. They’re targeting different audiences with the move.
They amassed critical pieces of military hardware off the coast (carriers, warships, helicopters, planes). They took out military infrastructure. They placed radar systems throughout the region. Just because it was fast and met its goal doesn't mean it wasn't an invasion. You don't need an on-the-ground force when you control everything that can go in and out.
Yes, that's an invasion! And the Japanese invaded the Aleutian Islands during WWII. Taking even a barely inhabited frozen rock by force is an invasion. Has nothing to do with the scale of destruction.
“Invasion” implies the intent of sustained military occupation/control over some portion a country’s territory. There’s no suggestion that was ever the objective here.
Depends, but some things it could mean include clear intent to end the situation within the foreseeable future, taking it outside some but not all definitions of indefinite.
The spec sheet here suggests it’s pungent. I wonder if this truly worked or if the smell would make it immediately obvious.
