“The people even have the good thought of blocking the solar as a result of the Machines are principally powered by photo voltaic power. The Machines go nuclear and win the conflict in opposition to the people. THEN they begin connecting the people to the Matrix, an power supply lower than nuclear. I imagine the Machines put the people in there to maintain them secure from the hellish panorama they created.
They by no means actually eradicate the people who’ve escaped the Matrix, they merely preserve them powerless sufficient to guard themselves. The Machines even ally themselves with the people in opposition to Agent Smith, an alliance the Machines readily settle for as a result of they’ve at all times wished to get together with the people. They name off the assault on Zion, thus ending the cycle of destruction and rebuilding. They don’t have any cause to honor Neo’s phrases after his demise, however they achieve this as a result of they at all times wished peace.”
