👽 GALACTIC COUNCIL DEBRIEF

The Alliance Formerly Known As Stable

The Ukrainian emissary re-emerged at the West Earth summit this cycle, still requesting high-velocity deterrents. In response, some allied factions blinked slowly. Others offered expired ammunition and moral hashtags.

The Atlantic Pact Bloc appears glitched:

• Germany is buffering

• The U.S. toggled “support” off and on again

• Hungary is writing its own series

This has not triggered alarm. It has triggered celebration. Markets soared. Politicians clapped. The number trillion shed a single, invisible tear.
