    As you said, war is stupidly expensive and Ukraine is defending itself agai at a country many times it’s size that has many times it’s resources and manpower and still manages to fight them off. I don’t believe for a second that there is a lot of skimming going on as everybody in Ukraine knows what will happen if they lose.

      I have no evidence, of course. Just a feeling, which is a pointless metric. I think none of us really knew how much waging a war costs.
