Oh wow. That made me feel disgusted... I mean I'm not sure either of those numbers are accurate and I'm not even sure if it's because they are lower or larger considering how fucked war is for communication and clear information.

But just the idea that we can be comparing the 2 makes for (I think) one of the few things to give you the horrors of war into a comprehensible scale since otherwise it's just numbers.

We can see what Gaza and the city centers of dozens and dozens of apartments razed to the ground and think of the loss of life in that. And we know the horrors of a long war in Ukraine across towns and those injured being a logistical nightmare for aid even stretched over time.
Well so here we go, deaths like city being bombed, like a country being invaded, like families suddenly shrinking, like people screaming in pain in hospitals with no supplies.

It looks like war is coming back. Feel this and harden against it. "The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters."
