“Sunk cost fallacy implies that the West is supporting Ukraine for profit.”
No.
Ukraine can’t even get people to sign up anymore without forcing them. They’re begging for weapons all over the world, and facing increasing resistance for that supply.
Meanwhile Russia is cycling reserves and allowing them furlough time, and their military industrial capacity has increased to the point that newly produced weapons and armor are appearing all over the front lines.
You can’t maintain this lie for much longer. The evidence is increasingly revealing. Personally I think after this counter-offensive is over it won’t be possible any longer.
3·1 year agoDedollarization has begun. Takes a long time to get dollar denominated debts off balance sheets and to replace it with alternatives though.
Slowly but surely.
Trade divergence is costly. Firms and people tend to like paying less for goods when they’ve derived from the most efficient trade options than to pay more for goods because of political reasons. Especially if those political reasons are mostly associated with the geopolitical interests of the elite and not their own interests.
Trade has a funny way of overcoming political nonsense.
Ukraine hasn’t even reached the first anti-tank trenches yet, which are at the first line of defense which is part of at least three lines of defense (depending on location). They’ve taken very heavy losses to this point too.
Ukraine is getting stomped, and that’s why the NATO bosses are now talking about possibilities like a coalition of the willing or even giving Ukraine tactical nukes in one extreme case I read.
