Brilliant analysis of how displacement becomes policy through paperwork rather than spectacle. That point about the return phase being where demographic change actually gets locked in is something most coverage completely misses becasue bureaucratic coercion doesnt make for good video. Saw this exact playbook in other post-conflict zones where "vetting" turned into permanent exclusion. The credibility erosion you outline here isnt just a Kurdish problem, it becomes the template for every militia watching how partnerships with democracies actually end.
