ALL is subsumed under the larger rubrics of government and debt.

The current US government, post-Nuland, is still Biden's administration in all its activities and foci and expenditures, of which the Ukraine-Russia war is one among many. And the current US debt is rising very rapidly. 34.5 trillion USD, because the nation and its economy are now operating on a gigantic credit card.

Attrition in troop strength is akin to attrition in war materiel, and both are akin to economic health and demographics. Many sick men doing battle does portend all will be settled and "may take decades" looms as a distinct possibility.

Tick tock.
