The question wasn't addressed to me but I'll give my overly simplistic answer or rant anyway. What happens now? I see all sides in a tug of war between supporting the side which is more favorable to their power/financial interests vs any kind of peace or prosperity which does not support their oligarchical interests. Right or wrong, ethics or human dignity be damned. Same thing that's happened throughout history.
It's a machine and it is enraging. It does not care how we feel or who we hurt. It's about power and dominance. If we haven't figured this out in the tens of thousands of years of human history what makes us think we'll solve this now? I tend to hope that in this day and age of global communication that expanded awareness can lead to a more peaceful coexistence but it also seems to be solidifying people into their respective corners.
Until there is total domination by one faction, or the conflict becomes too costly to global markets, or we collectively have a positive global conscience shift, this will sadly continue. Best I feel we can personally do is live our lives as peaceful and open-minded as we hope the world to be and not get too caught up in things we have no control over.
