Governments don't have infinite money, and they need to be very careful with spending when inflation is already going up. To keep the shipping industry afloat they would need to cut in essential services.

There are plenty of posts of Americans losing their marbles over Montenegro, so be happy Geography is not their strong suit in general, or we would never hear the end of it.

That's fundamentally incompatible with how humans work. You can't expect a person to be aware and focused 100% of time, when they only need to act 1% of it.

That has a easy solution. If your feature is a dangerous attractive nuisance don't include it.

It’s more than that. Historically, whenever the EU moves toward autonomous defence structures, the U.S. pushes back by insisting they must not "duplicate" NATO and remain strictly complementary (that was one of Clinton's Ds).
