Editorial standards
HaveTheyInvadedYet is built to answer current war and invasion questions quickly, while keeping the evidence trail visible. The site is informational, not official guidance.
Answer the question first
Each conflict page starts with the direct status answer people are searching for. Supporting context explains why the page says YES, KINDA, or NO.
Separate status from temperature
Status is a threshold call. Temperature is an escalation-pressure score. A conflict can be tense or heating up while the answer remains NO.
Prefer public, source-linked evidence
The tracker favors public reporting, official statements, and source-diverse evidence. Single-source claims and commentary are treated cautiously.
Show uncertainty instead of hiding it
KINDA exists for cases that are beyond routine pressure but still short of a confirmed full-scale war or invasion threshold.
Keep decisions updateable
Pages refresh as public signals change. Status and temperature can move when newer reporting, corroboration, or de-escalation evidence changes the picture.
Let ceasefires cool the page
A ceasefire, truce, pause, or credible diplomatic channel should change both the wording and the temperature posture. Active pages should not keep peak-fighting language when the current evidence shows a fragile pause.
Corrections and feedback
Corrections are welcome when a source is stale, a link has changed, or a status call appears inconsistent with public evidence. Use the contact page for corrections, source suggestions, and business inquiries.
