According to Scott Ritter (former weapons inspector), Douglas McGregor, Brian Berletic, etc., the ratio of Ukrainian-Russian deaths are 5-10 to 1, with the Ukrainian death toll estimated between 300,000-350,000 — which is the reason Russia thinks it can win a war of attrition.

Because of sanctions against Russia, they were free to convert their entire economy to a war-machine — because that was what they deemed the most valuable production — while the Ukrainian economy has been virtually destroyed, and is only propped up by the US and its NATO allies. But all is not well in what George Orwell called “Oceania”; the other super powers are Eurasia (Russia) and East Asian (China, India).

That is the world we now live in — as well as the dominant and enduring civilizations for the last thousand years. We’re just not aware of it — from a Western civilization perspective that has cast Russia and China as the bad guys, and chief rival to Western hegemony and colonialism.

Russia does not need to take over the rest of the world. It already has most of the natural resources, a highly educated and competent citizenry, probably the most competent leader of these times, and only 140 million people occupying the largest land mass in the world — rich with natural resources. It already has a massive advantage, and a good relationship with its manufacturing powerhouse neighbor China — that no amount of ballot harvesting in the UN of countries in name only, can nullify.

Meanwhile, the Western nations are in decline, their infrastructures falling apart, and they have no solutions for the homelessness, crime and drug addiction that are rotting their major cities — and have Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as “leaders.”

With its 11 local times, Russia is one of the countries with the most time zones worldwide. While France and its dependencies stretch across 12 time zones, Russia holds another world record:

10 of the country's 11 time zones cover a contiguous landmass—only the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, wedged between Lithuania and Poland, breaks that pattern.
