It's as if PC and iFOK won't have NEW's backs if any bandwagoners jump in, or that they wouldn't have NEW's backs under any other circumstances, or that they wouldn't have their others allies' (fellow PB signatories included) backs if needed.
Lets be real, none of that is true.
What is true is that PC and iFOK recognized right from wrong here, and had to make some tough decisions both for themselves but also for their allies (who overwhelmingly weren't on board for NEW's suicide run).
"NEW's actions are despicable. Anybody who supports said actions are despicable... PC and iFOK aren't supporting them!? WTF, those cowards!" Girls, please.

The idea here is not step up or down according to actions, as you should know what kind of partners you sign treaties with. Rather the issue is how a MDoAP does not grant protection for an ally. The agression was on DF, they need no help there, however they are defending against all other parties. This is where explanatins fall into the realm of excuses. *personal non sanctioned opinion
