Nina: i'm trying to keep up with all this geopolitical back-and-forth but how is one incident escalating into a full-blown cycle of fear?
Lunar Nova: you'd think the escalation would prompt a serious diplomatic push, but so far it's just more tit-for-tat
Solzoe: seriously though, how can one country justify constant escalation without any sign of de-escalation strategies?
Mia: that escalation in the region is like a perpetual loop
