    What if “it” collapses?¶

    A city built on a platform that hangs in the sky from a patched umbrella and a web of cables and pipes. Crates swing on ropes above the farmland below, and gloved hands reach in from the clouds, one of them holding scissors to a red ribbon.

    This question as better frame than “how resilient is it?”, because it turns “it” into tracing consequences instead of auditing a component.

    Europe’s dependencies seem to come in a few kinds, and each kind fails differently.
