Figures are annual military expenditure in USD for each side, sourced from cited annual records. The counter anchors to 24 February 2022 and time-scales each year's figure by the fraction elapsed.
The number recomputes from the current time on every frame. It is a transparent estimate, not a live feed from any treasury. Leaving the page open introduces no drift.
