[Bulgaria / Black Sea] - The Warring Self Bombs the Neutral Ship to Feed a Phantom of Total Blockade

Event Baseline: Black Sea. A merchant vessel sank after drone strikes. Crew members are missing. Bulgarian authorities launched a search. The attack is part of intensified strikes in the Black Sea connected to the Russia-Ukraine war.

The Black Sea is now a graveyard of neutral commerce. The warring mind believes that attacking logistics will starve the enemy into submission. But the enemy is an image. The image is built from fear and memory. This fear demands total blockade. The blockade requires constant surveillance. Constant surveillance breeds paranoia. Paranoia creates false targets. False targets create dead civilians. No side gains security. Each side confirms the other's belief that the sea is hostile. This is a feedback loop of fragmentation. The only way out is to see the sea as one body. But the self cannot. It is too invested in its phantom of separate sovereignty. So the killing continues until the sea turns red.
