The literary device that Whitman uses to address the sea in this excerpt from "Song of Myself" is apostrophe.
According to the dictionary, apostrophe, aside from being a punctuation mark, is a literary device that consists of "the addressing of a usually absent person or a usually personified thing rhetorically" (Merriam-Webster.)
In this excerpt, Whitmant is clearly personifying the sea by adressing directly to it as a person ("You sea!") and as if it could understand what he is saying to it ("I resign myself to you...")

Hi. Did you forget to say that this question is about the article "If Not Threats of War or Sanctions, Then What?"
Answer and Explanation:
To support that the USA has a “considerable sway in the world,” the author states that even today and even in the midst of adversity, the USA is able to extend its interests and have requests fulfilled everywhere in the world, like any other great power . This affects American diplomacy positively, because it shows that it is favorable for other countries to meet the specifications that the USA.
