    I doubt this story has legs. You think everyone who’s still going slava Ukraini knows or even cares about the schemes going on in the background?

    It'll be like Iraq.

    1. Lies come out early on, but most people ignore them due to propaganda.
    2. Gradually, as the costs of war are realized (and more lies emerge), supporters are peeled off.
    3. Many people ignore the whole situation for years. Some likely acknowledge the lies, but stop their vocal support instead of start vocal opposition.
    4. The consensus gradually becomes "this war was a bad idea," with more and more people becoming open to the fact of the lies. "We had good intentions, but what can you do?" is still pushed heavily, though.
    5. A decade or three down the line the lies are supported by incontrovertible evidence, but "this new war is different."

    So major :doomer: if the pattern continues, but in the short term this may help blunt rabid warmongering.
