I mean, a truly binding commitment to send troops after an attack might work in theory. Making that commitment essentially *becomes* the first move. But the way they describe the actual commitment here? Woof. Useless.

I’d argue it’s in no small part because virtually all our major media outlets are fundamentally failing to meet the moment, e.g. by having this shit on top of their landing page as the HHS secretary unilaterally unravels perhaps the greatest accomplishment in human history.

This is maybe the 14,000th most important thing right now but yes it’s the stopping power of distance, not water. People just say stopping power of water because most of the earth is water, so distance and water tend to overlap. But on average it’s far easier to project power across water than land.
