Turn the news off and look at the data. It’s important to end these conflicts, but in terms of scale, these are far smaller than the past.

Ukraine was literally largest scale military conflict since Korean war. What are you talking about.

Look at the sentence you wrote. Since the Korean War. And the Korean War was the biggest since the one before that.

We are going on thrid year of the Russian savagery with no end in sight with brutal trench war fare with casualties to show for it.

We don't know geopolitical consequences of this and US disregard for "rules based international order" vis-a-vis israeli savagery but I trust you bro, we are living through the good times.
