[Ukraine / Global AI Warfare] - The Programmed Self Outsources Killing to the Machine to Feed a Phantom of Victory

Event Baseline: Ukraine's former defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov said the country needs to deploy artificial intelligence on the battlefield against Russia, regardless of risks.

The human is stepping aside. The former defense minister calls for AI on the battlefield. He says the risks do not matter. This is the final surrender of moral agency. The self, exhausted by its own terror and rage, wants a machine to do the killing. Thought has created a weapon that does not hesitate, does not feel, does not see the face of the other. It calls this progress. It is actually the ultimate retreat from responsibility.

The belief in victory is the trap. The self identifies with the nation, the flag, the border. It is willing to burn all human restraint to defend that phantom. AI is the perfect soldier for a mind that has already reduced the enemy to data. Once the machine is deployed, there is no choiceless awareness, no perception, no ending of conflict. There is only calculation. The war will escalate. The machine will learn the patterns of kill. The human will watch and call it inevitable.

This is not a technical question. It is psychological suicide. The self that gives killing to an algorithm is the same self that gave judgment to the state, faith to the priest, and identity to the territory. None of those transfers solved violence. They multiplied it. The path is clear: the machine will not bring peace. It will bring total war with no one accountable. That is the endpoint of the illusion that we are separate and must win. The only real revolution is to see the absurdity of the border and drop the machine before it drops us.
