What happens to a nation’s psyche when the basic need to breathe is blocked by the geopolitical reality of an endless war?

They parse the deep frustration of a public realizing that its historic moment of deterrence may have slipped away, the dangerous escalations threatening international shipping lanes and neighboring countries, and an unsteady order where tactical firefighting has replaced genuine strategy.
