- Signal date 02/02/2025 confirmed exact — Dodik RTRS speech. Primary trigger: EO 14169 signed January 20, 2025 (13 days prior), pausing all US foreign development assistance. Secondary activation point: February 2, 2025 — Musk posts 'USAID is a criminal organization' and Trump calls it 'run by radical lunatics' on the same day as Dodik's speech, providing real-time rhetorical permission. Dodik deployed the Musk/Trump criminal framing in his authorization speech on the same day it appeared. Trigger-to-signal lag is 13 days from EO 14169, not 0-3 days. Escalation corrected 4→1 (Phase 1 authorization).
