Looking at the bigger picture, this NATO-led proxy war against Russia had two (2) components: 1. Economic warfare via all-out sanctions with the intention of crippling the Russian economy and 2. Military warfare via proxy Ukraine with the intention of somehow winning a ground war against...Russia. Seeing how catastrophically 1. turned out, is the complete ineptitude displayed by 2. a big shocker? I'd bet 5 cents (my maximum for a sure bet) on the authenticity of these leaked documents and the overall accuracy of the above analysis. The only winner is all of this is the U.S. Military Industrial Complex and its various State Department and Military associates. Biggest loser is Ukraine and the average U.S. taxpayer. It's a giant scam.
I'm so tired of senseless wars! I admit, I bought into the Afghanistan war. Nothing since.
Recently I've read where the hated "Orange Man" said an emphatic NO to military strikes AT LEAST FOUR TIMES! At least once with Iran over an unmanned recon mission shot down - advisors were ready to roll with an attack package. President Trump asked, "Was anybody killed?" No. "What did it cost us?" A few dollars. "How many Iranians will we potentially kill?" A dozen, maybe a few dozen. An EMPHATIC NO!! came the reply to the neocons and war machine.
BTW, there was some military bluster with President Trump, but NO NEW WARS! And we had peace talks with North Korea.

You forgot the US fossil fuel industries among the winners, but otherwise, yeah.
