24. Probably underestimated, being that Putin bought in his own crematoriums too, to dispose of

too many bodies, to hide the bloodshed. Who else brings in their own dead body disposal units, crematoriums (and most importantly, why)?

putin, wanting to hide the bloody truth from his own people on just how many deaths putin's fantasies are truly costing the Russian people.

We're yet to see the full cost of this whole bloody engagement.

I already see some efforts to sidestep gas shipments from Russia via the pipeline that is IP of being developed (from European buyers, there are other sources of gas), and also, more importantly, these buyers are seeing just how easily ties w/ Russia could be broken and gas shipments could be curtailed, because putin has a fit on something or other that bugs him. Other sources of foreign income are being disrupted across the entire European theater, as more and more turn away from Russian suppliers and their goods, and go to other sources.

With someone who is so undependable from an economic viewpoint, this will plunge the Russian economy into a tailspin, mainly because buyers don't like unpredictability.

At least one truth is now in the open, that putin is a murderer and a warmonger, and will attack any part of Russia (and maybe others) that he feels isn't up to snuff.

This should (and probably already is) be a scary thought in any Russian's mind (and is probably already in those in the NATO command).
