Unless you're in Russia, you can call it a war. It's embarrassing to use such a euphemism (and no, I'm not a NATO lib). Of course you are right about the pentagon's emissions.

Given that Russia's military got bigger AFTER 2 years of losing men and materiel, I would say it's not a war but rather a targeted military operation that is achieving it's objectives.

That's the craziest thing I've heard in a while. Every US war has resulted in a bigger military. That's generally how military spending works

The USA is both expanding it's military and also has been losing enlistment for a long time. It's not a good market. Ukraine, however, is a good example of a military shrinking because of a serious conflict. Russia is not in a serious conflict, it's engaged in what amounts to a police action.
