How States Really Think

Governments often say one thing and act much later — or not at all. This video explains why. Most people expect governments to think and react the way individuals do emotionally, morally, immediately. But states don’t work like that. In this episode of Zabbel, we explore how states actually make decisions, why values and interests constantly compete, why public language is designed to reassure rather than reveal, why silence doesn’t mean nothing is happening, and why the same decision-making logic repeats across countries and situations. This is not a video about defending or criticizing any government. It’s about understanding the patterns behind state behavior, so global events stop feeling random or confusing. If you’ve ever wondered: why decisions take years to act on why governments sound confident publicly but cautious privately why silence can be strategic why the same logic appears everywhere this video is for you. Zabbel turns complex ideas into clear, visual stories, not to tell you what to think, but to help you see how things work.
