	*Summary: to kick Russia's ass overwhelmingly, we need 4x the force, which is achievable either by a bunch of pissed off Ukes at the same number, or an army of regulars 4x the size. ~~This~~ can possibly be measured by the annual spending of Russia. For a point conflict with advanced weapons, that would be say $60B, if typical budgets are 1/4 equipment and 3/4 personnel/O&M. So far, Ukraine got about $3B, which is 1/20 that size - so it would have to work really hard to overcome the enemy. In short - a point budget with immediate arms delivery would be the equivalent annual spending of the aggressor - if the defender has soldiers. That would make it an equivalent of 4 years of the aggressor's buildup in terms of equipment. That puts the armies on an equal footing. Overwhelming defeat would be an army 10x the size. Thus, the max war budget would need to be $600B for quick victory. This is only in the case that ass has to be kicked, ie, the aggressor did not take on the option of collaborating openly as in the OSE military (peacetime) doctrine - in which case resolution would come for free. In the scenario of collaborative arms development, prior to the emergence of the open source economy - a common peacekeeping function with a large army would be 3x more cost effective than the current two tees [https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk026QG9BbsZl0rNsBS9KmerMgczY_w%3A1602863734253&source=hp&ei=dsKJX6q8DJDYsAXHkpG4Cw&q=how+much+does+the+entire+world+spend+on+the+military&btnK=Google+Search&oq=how+to+configure+nvidia+geforce+gtx+1650+super+on+linux+mint&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQAzIFCCEQoAEyBQghEKsCMgUIIRCrAjoOCAAQ6gIQtAIQmgEQ5QI6DgguELEDEMcBEKMCEJMCOggILhDHARCvAToLCC4QsQMQxwEQowI6CAgAELEDEIMBOggILhCxAxCDAToFCAAQsQM6AggAOgQIABAKOgYIABAWEB46CAghEBYQHRAeOgcIIRAKEKABUMsQWOmzAWD8tAFoBnAAeACAAeQGiAGhS5IBDTExLjQ3LjMuMi42LTGYAQCgAQGqAQdnd3Mtd2l6sAEG&sclient=psy-ab&ved=0ahUKEwiqz4DcvLnsAhUQLKwKHUdJBLcQ4dUDCAk&uact=5].		*Summary: to kick Russia's ass overwhelmingly, we need 4x the force, which is achievable either by a bunch of pissed off Ukes at the same number, or an army of regulars 4x the size.
