I'm not sure exactly what my daughter is building in Minecraft, but she just coded a tripwire to blow out the torches in a room.

Encourage these people to have a little google of the word tripwire

It’s counter-intuitive, but having forces there signal a credible commitment to defending the Baltics and function as a tripwire to ensure that if Russia attacks, the British public will demand blood.

and the idea that the euros were a "tripwire" until US forces could flow across the Atlantic is

- kind of a silly word to use considering they're fighting on their own soil
- probably a valid assumption for most of the Cold War but much less so for the last 10-15 years

As others have pointed out, the person who SHOULD trip your weirdness tripwire is the person who is on the cover of a major magazine screaming about how they’ve been “cancelled.”

And of course, how can someone be canceled if nobody has ever heard of them lol
One of my pet peeves is folks taking the time to leave a "never heard of <insert person>" comment. It's a proclamation of a knowledge gap, which is a weird thing to do. You don't HAVE to know about these people, but to declare it loudly feels very Boomer and usually involves women media figures.
i find ivy wolk generally annoying and this cover is cringe but the number of people in the replies proud of not knowing who she is embarrassing. she was in Anora! the 2024 best picture winner! a major character in If I Had Legs I'd Kick You! don't take pride in the fact you're not paying attention!

Tout le principe de l'Alliance et de ses "tripwire forces": Attaquer un petit pays de l'Alliance comme l'Estonie signifie probablement engager des forces françaises, anglaises ou américaines, ce qui déclencherai une riposte d'une dimension bien plus grande que juste affronter les estoniens.
The purpose of NATO is to scare Russians with the prospect of a violent and painful demise should they attack a member state and I'm tired of having to pretend that's objectionable

The irony of building a "detention center" in a state that basically invented the concept of the gateway is peak American architecture. We’ve perfected the art of the welcome mat that doubles as a tripwire.

They're called tripwire forces and they're very effective at deterring invasions. Their entire point is making it abundantly clear that if you invade this country, you're going to be also doing big-boy war against the tripwire force. Russia looks for weak isolated countries to pick off.

This is where you derailed me. "How would they know?" is terrible advice. Maybe you're just unlucky. Maybe they've got a tripwire system--somebody checks a Google keywords check or they've set up a bot to crawl the web looking for it. Either way, it could go bad.

Yeah, I suppose so. It just seems like they would be so thiny spread.. my concern would not be so much a formal Russian attack, where as you say they would be a tripwire, but Russian sponsored insurgency or terrorism, which could remain deniable, but would draw the forces in.

A tripwire can just be a loose line with a fishing hook on it

genuinely thought your posting about the violence in the 1928 illinois primary somehow contained the wrong combo of terms for elections and violent acts that set off some autoban tripwire lol
