Exact same thing that will happen if you pass aid to Ukraine, except less people will die.

The fact that you think another 60 billion is going to change the course of the war after untold billions have already been poured into it over the past two years is absolutely hilarious. The best chance NATO had to defeat Russia was last summer when they scrounged everything they had for the big offensive. Ukrainian army was still in decent shape back then, NATO supplies tanks, ammunition, and AD systems, and so on. The offensive was an a complete and utter disaster. That level of support is simply not possible now because the west is running out of material things like artillery shells and missiles. Meanwhile, Ukraine is running out of manpower. Anybody who keeps promoting this war is a sick individual who simply wants people to die for the sake of it.

Which raises the question of what exactly was this all for. Ukraine could have retained all of its original territory and sovereignty if it simply agreed to stay neutral and implement Minsk. Then Ukraine could’ve still retained most of its territory if the Istanbul agreement was allowed to go through. At each turn, NATO egged Ukraine on to fight, and in each case the situation got worse for Ukraine thanks to NATO involvement. Now, hundreds of thousands of people died, millions of others fled, large parts of the country have been destroyed, and there might not be an Ukraine left in the end. This war has completely discredited NATO in my opinion.

Anybody who’s minimally historically aware knew that this is the inevitable fate of all US proxies. This was always going to be the outcome.

The Matrix was flashier, but I thought Dark City asked a more interesting question which is what makes us ourselves. Is it our environment, our memories, or is it something more.

Let’s just say there’s no lack of problems here.

This is why armies collapse as opposed to fighting to the last man. At some point enough people realize that the gig is up, and they stop following orders from the regime.

There is some research being done in this area, but yeah it’s almost certainly going to have epic unintended consequences.
