What was said

Writing about Islamic political actors and international law, James posted that “the invaders use th Westphalian concept defensively and ignore it offensively.” It reached about 6,800 views.

Why it counts

Arguing about how states and political movements invoke sovereignty is a real subject with real scholarship behind it, and this account makes that argument at length elsewhere.

Invaders has no antecedent here. Nothing in the post says which actors are meant, so it reads as the population the surrounding argument is about, and it's the word that settles what the more careful phrasing has been describing. If political actors were meant, the sentence needed to say so.
