It would be a very sad state of affairs if NATO basically used the Ukrainians to soak up as much damage as the Russians can inflict in order to weaken it, whilst giving only as little support as necessary, and by dragging the war on. Howeve

I personally can't see how it would be best for either party. Elon I would imagine is way too busy with his other concerns to be distracted by a social media company, even though at the moment it does seem to carry an oversized amount

Seeing Ukraine's large expanses of flat land with dotted woodland I also thought that squads on quad-bikes (electric to be silent) would be a very effective way of moving about and inflicting lots of damage behind the front-lines. Kind

The standard approach on Windows (and no reason also for linux, FreeBSD) is to have per-process thread pools. E.g. each process in a .net app has a default thread pool. Windows also has an async IO api that requires a thread pool of threads
