So few people discerningly appreciate the degree to which Russia's extraordinarily deliberate approach to this war has produced the most disproportionate KIA ratio of any major war in modern times.

At the end of 2022, I estimated at least 8:1.

At the end of 2023, I was up to at least 10:1.

At the end of 2024, I was convinced it was at least 12:1.

Now, over half-way through 2025, I think it is at least 15:1.

For the entire war.

Military historians of the future will laud the Stavka's strategic brilliance over the course of this conflict. Sure, they have made some mistakes along the way. That is part of war, too. But, considered in the aggregate, I believe they deserve a glorious statue in their honor.
