What do you predict would have happened to West Berlin if the Berlin Airlift hadn't been created?

The Berlin Airlift began on June 24, 1948, when the Soviets, who occupied East Berlin, blockaded the western part of the city, which was occupied by the Americans, the French, and the British. Until May 12, 1949 (the date on which the Soviets lifted the blockade), the Americans and British flew in food and fuel to West Berlin. During the Airlift, the Allies brought 2.3 million tons of supplies into West Berlin. Without this assistance, it is likely West Berlin would have faced great hardship, including starvation, lack of fuel, and illness due to a lack of medicine. Over time, the Soviets might have decided to make inroads into West Berlin, as the people would have been desperate for aid and would have wanted the Soviets' help. West Berlin might have joined with East Berlin and become part of the Soviet sector.
