Yes. The Second World War had a deathtoll about 60 times higher. (.3 is much more than I gave it credit for.)

Korean War probably more than 3 million.

Returning to smaller scale war is not an end of war. Nor even close to ending wars. Imperialism causes wider ranging wars is all, as whole networks of military apparatus are mobilised. Modern empires are more nebulous.

Edit: also, your WW2 figure is including civilians and acts of genocide. I think your Vietnamese figure is combatants only.

Yeah, I always think that more than a NSFW binary there should be three or maybe 4 options.

• Totally safe for work/public
• Suggestive
• Actively sexualised nudity
• Hardcore and/or very kinky
• Violence and gore

Maybe other folks would do it a bit differently, which is probably why we’re stuck on the binary.

Yes, the Korean war was the biggest with soldiers from dozens of countries dying in action, with a localised theatre.

But how many of those civil wars were hot parts of the Cold War? Can we not lump them into a single Cold War total?

The death toll of the world wars is huge, but equally the death tolls of the strife across Saharan and Central Africa and the Middle East isn’t insignificant. Do we just leave it off the record because the combatants are only our proxies? Fighting with our guns, for our benefit, rather than a war on land we’ve yet to relinquish control over?

Edit: though I’ve gone on a massive tangent. My original point that I let my mind forget and spout off on a tangent, was that there have been lots of wars with coalitions of allies feeding arms to the sides, as we now see in Ukraine in the intervening 70 years. Just less close to home.

That was more my point.

Exporting the death and suffering to far off parts of the world and calling it world peace. The only difference with Ukraine is it is closer to home, for most of the G7 anyhow.

He invited her to stay with him.

And then 72 hours later he was pumping her full of (step-)sibling-children.
