Moonshot: Solving the Ukraine crisis with Ethereum and Game Theory

Hear me out.

We create a Russian Soldier Defector DAO that accepts donations from all over the world. The fund distributes money to each confirmed Russian Soldier defector, or returns the money to the donors after some time period in the scenario where no defectors are confirmed.

We fund the fuck out of this DAO and get media attention. We use the media attention to petition countries around the world to offer asylum and residence to all confirmed Russian Soldier defectors. Russian soldiers realize that they are in a position to defect, get paid, and have a better life in a modern country where they will be welcomed as heros, or they can risk injury and death, only to go back to an economically battered Russia with absolutely no prospects for a future life.

People tend to do what they are incentivized to do. Lets change the incentives of the game.
