How can they prove guilt? Innocent until proven guilty under English common law, right?

Ig technically, but it was really the US that invaded Afghanistan. Considering their allies that sent significantly smaller forces and did not make the decision to start the military activity as fellow invaders is disingenuous at best.

I would hope that cooler heads prevail, as they have before.

This is the most famous one but I believe there was also one by NORAD in the 60s https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Soviet_nuclear_false_alarm_incident

It’s kinda wild to claim that the US invaded Russia when they literally only sent one contigent of troops. That’s like saying Canada invaded Afghanistan.

“As with many modern scientific creature-names, it was coined in Modern Latin from Greek elements, so it might be allowed to partake of Latin grammar in forming the plural”

Literally from the link you provided. It was coined initially in the language of modern latin, from Greek roots, certainly, but the word objectively and literally comes from modern latin.

Exactly. I think that’s what the sentiment of the person you’re replying to was as well.

In the US they usually just hit you with trumped up charges for daring to do something. When the keystone xl pipeline was being built some protesters crawled inside so they couldn’t continue working… those protesters were charged with attempted murder iirc (because it was dangerous for them to crawl inside the pipeline or some bs).
