Fantastic article which quantified my beliefs without having the knowledge.

My view at the start of this shit show was if the Ukranians could hold off for 14 days they would be able to have an increased chance of winning.

Make it last 90 (Russian GDP), it is near game over for Russia.

Make note: the loss of life on both sides is infinitely priceless ....

My unfounded belief is that the people that play Putin wanted him out. The problem is they didn't have a way to do so with government methods since he actively worked the system.

Why my feeling this is the case is because the ultra rich and wealthy don't see human lives as valuable. Secondly, the US power is targeting oligarchs.

I am probably wrong and may only be right twice a day, but this is my guess of what sparked this.

This is my flag in guessing what caused this shit show.
