Energy supply is weaponized geopolitically
Window: 13 Apr 2027 – 13 Oct 2028

What this is
A major-economy energy supplier deliberately cuts off or sharply reduces supply to a customer country as geopolitical leverage, OR a customer country sanctions a supplier producing symmetric cutoff. F-CT-8 τ-discharge at the energy-interdependence grain. Downstream: price spikes, substitute-sourcing scramble, political regime stress in both supplier and customer, infrastructure reconfiguration.
