Spoken like a true military man which is what the code is suppose to encourage.
Apart from Pentagon, Kiev and Kremlin insiders, no one can actually claim whatever data officially because everyone jealously protect the real time ones for fear to give an advantage to their opponents. Others like Col McGregor sources use 'clever' methods to estimate and so far it confirms the leaked casualty ratios. Those public signals which require a more cynical analysis suggest when Zel$ had been travelling the world imploring Nato members to provide more ammo, weapons, planes, etc, gives a pessimistic assessment of what is happening at ground zero. Coupled with the drip feeding of military supply chiefly US since the massive aid confirms not only the situation is not good but western MIC are not geared on a war footing unlike Russia.
I always though after listening to contrarian experts with military experiences that this is a war of attrition, something Russians does well in the historical perspective. The outcome of this war is upon us but this is not my main concern. The side effects of this war has infected the financial one, something I suspect the Americans did not even consider be it hubris or just plain ignorance.
The speed of cross border trade transaction outside of USD is quite conspicuous and you can understand why. Maybe after all with current evidence of more peace through the multipolar world grouping, this is the trigger for global peaceful consensus between the have and have not in the financial world.
