Sunk cost fallacy. “These wars would have never happened if Trump were in office.” They have not ‘happened’; they are ‘happenings.’ A war is a continuous choice.Russia can decide to end-it today, in an hour, tomorrow at noon. It’s not a single-decision, but chain of decisions, across an entire socio-military-complex—every moment to continue requires an affirmative effort to “push forward” and at great cost. Yesterday’s decisions and borne costs are irrelevant to a decision to continue at any given moment.
