I’m increasingly hearing and reading the following comments from Russians in regards to the war in Ukraine:

“The war is wrong, but we cannot allow to lose now. Everything what has been invested in this war would have been lost and it all would have been in vain.”

You know how this is called?

Sunk-cost fallacy

@Tendar @deannapizzuti just amazing that Putin, who’s whole schtick is that he’s going to fix the failures that led to the end of the Soviet empire, decided to speed-run the Afghanistan experience.

@Tendar @deannapizzuti (obviously one hopes that this works out better for Ukraine than things did for Afghanistan)
