alt Hacker NewsWhen I see a discussion that amounts to whether we should enforce some rule of international behavior, I find it useful to ask "would you go to war over this?"
If not, maybe you're being more performative than genuine.

Or maybe your 'useful' way of looking at things isn't actually all that useful. Not all roads need to lead to war.
What about advocating without any coercion? What about sanctions and other diplomatic measures? Surely there are goals that aren't worth going to war over that are nonetheless worthwhile to pursue to some more limited extent.
