I write both stand-alone sci-fantasy shorts and a series of vignettes showing the life and struggles of interstellar empires called the Periphery Wars. This one is called "Breakdown" about two Galactic Brass discussing the state of their empire in light of an antagonistic ally.

Here's one line highlighting the theme:

"Things have gotten so tumultuous here, we’re ready to fracture at the drop of a hat. The Federation’s never been more fragile, and one more economic disturbance is all we need for all hell to break loose! This guy better be good.”
