Western leaders are so trapped in the illusions of philosophical idealism that they think if they can make enough people believe in a thing then that will make it so.

The material universe simply does not work that way. Trained troops are not wished into existence. Land mines don't disappear just because soldiers BELIEVE their mine-detecting equipment works, but because it DOES work.

Sounds like the Ukrainian soldiers no longer believe, so don't want to get blown up, so yeah, they're becoming a lot more risk-averse.

Which isn't profitable for the US Empire MIC and is therefore morally bad, according to the apologists of Empire.
