Greatest Badboy People and Nations per Century

Chechnya is a part of Russian Federation so there was no invasion of a foreign country.

In case of Georgia, it was very limited to area around South Ossetia and wasn't an invasion in true sense of the word and there was no toppling of the regime in Georgia...

In the cases of Iraq and Afghanistan, it was a clear invasion and it involved changing the government in both countries...

That doesn't really matter for the inhabitants of Cechnya now does it?
It's still a war.

And what would you call Russian troops on Georgian territory if not an invasion?

Jolt made it pretty clear - using force to attack and conquer other nations etc...

Chechnya is not the other nation, it's not a sovereign country and neither it was at any point during the conflict, it is and was a part of the Russian Federation.

I said that in case of Georgia - it wasn't an invasion in the true sense of the word, because if it were, you would see Russian troops in Grozny and you wouldn't have Saakashvili in power now...

If you try to look at it that way than you would also have to count NATO troops in Kosovo as an invasion of Serbia...
