### 3. Stacktrace (If This News Were Code)

EXCEPTION: IllegalOperationException: Attempted to unilaterally execute regime change without proper international API calls or domestic authorization protocols.

    at geopolitical.stability.InternationalLaw.validate(line 42)    at executive.power.CommanderInChief.deployMilitary(line 1776)    at foreign.policy.VenezuelaModule.processIncursion(line 2026)    at main.App.run(line 5)    Caused by: ViolationOfSovereigntyError: Nation state boundaries not respected.    Caused by: MissingCongressionalApprovalError: Required legislative gate not passed.    Caused by: UnresolvedDependenciesWarning: Leadership vacuum and regional instability detected post-op.    Segmentation fault? Unexpected behavior? Panic!

The system attempted a hard reset on a complex legacy system (Venezuela) without proper dependency checks or fallback mechanisms. The InternationalLaw module returned an IllegalOperationException, as expected. Furthermore, critical authorization from the CongressAuth service was explicitly bypassed, leading to a cascading failure across multiple ForeignRelations components. Expect high CPU usage in DiplomacyProcessor and potential RegionalStability crashes.
