just my own speculation analysis, but i think the imperial project cannot separate itself from the entity. while individual characters might try to capitalize on the decoupling of popular support and institutional power--to position themselves for what might come after--i think there will be no steps back from full, constant support for the entity until something much larger buckles: rumors of troop non compliance, entire commands slow rolling compliance with orders for war while the US dollar implodes, large cities engage in rolling work stoppages, federal and state guard commands contested, and US import + forex markets seize. basically, stories bubbling up threatening existential failure of the core.
i think whatever committees of hands are on the throttle regard the failure of the entity as an inflection point for the successful maintenance of all US occupation and proxy conflicts, as well as the primary geography of overlap between the US's and the EU's 21st century neocolonial aspirations.
not to mention, i think there is something to the omnidirectional interpretation of the Samson Option threats, which would probably plunge the west into even more chaos than the sudden implosion of the currently-redlining US/EU capital and credit markets now keeping the entity's government and it's parallel VC feedback loops into the US afloat with emergency loans.
again this is purely speculation, but in my lifetime i haven't seen the US act as rapidly, consistently and decisively across all institutions about any of the proxy conflicts, both at home and abroad, as it has about the entity. the anti-boycott laws, the violent suppression of campus protests and summary blacklisting, the complete lack of any basic, even aesthetic-only oppositional narrative anywhere within allowed discourse or among any institutions. this one isn't even allowed to be a symbolic campaign issue for the psuedo opposition party the way iraq or the GWOT were.
it all says to me that it's the endgame. the chips are all pushed in and we are now locked into finding out if the power structure has got the hand to back up the bet.... because it sure as shit looks like the global community heard the west's voice crack and is slowly calling a bluff.
Well said
