Thousands and thousands of Russian troops have crossed the Russian border into their neighbor state Ukraine. With them they bring tanks, missiles, and anti air defense systems according to NATO's top commander. As we speak, Russian continues to bring in more man power and supplies into Ukraine. The Obama administration has not once called this act an invasion but instead an “ongoing Russian incursion.” Why is this? Why is it that calling the ordeal a invasion such a big deal? I've put two and two together and have come to a conclusion that the word invasion is a pretty dramatic word. When Americans and other countries hear "invasion" they immediately think that they have to take some kind of action in order to stop it.
