I don't know about right now, but not long ago UK forces were in Syria, that Syria government never asked for. Should we call it invading? If not, what's your definition of invading?

Invading is claiming it as your country and handing out passports. That or installing a non-democratic dictatorship and subdue the local population.

That's more or less definition for annexing, not invading.

> That or installing a non-democratic dictatorship and subdue the local population.

That's a regime change or may be a coup.
