Alexander Mercouris was saying the other day that Russia started the conflict with 17 million rounds of arty ammo.

They've used around 7 million?

And after that time, they've ramped up their factories - whereas the West is struggling to produce minimal stocks.

This gets to why I also believe commonly quoted national GDP statistics are also BS. No one ever questions them.

Russia is often said to have an economy much smaller than even Australia’s.

But who is doing the measuring? How much is actually reported? In the West (particularly USA) we count our massive government spending and Wall Street trading as GDP. How productive are such activities really?

And is Russia (or China) really telling the world the true amount of defense-related investment and production?
