I would imagine the genocides in Bosnia or Rwanda were worse... but are they counting that as "modern times".
-
Yes those are worse using their deaths per day metric, but they don't seem to be going before 2008, or looking at civilian on civilian.

For children, surely top 5. Rwanda and Yemen, the USA's caused deaths in Iraq due to the power vacuum they created are higher though.
-
Maybe Susan, Yemen, the Rohingya… all those that aren’t remembered often
-
Yemen is in their chart.
The key here is that they are comparing the per day figures.
This conflict is not yet over. If it lasts as long as the one in Yemen, at this rate it would kill 347,380 children.

God damnit, Susan! I told you that's not ok!!!

It's a real neck and neck race between genocidal war and America's school system

Out of all the negative news, this actually made me laugh out loud lol.
HS was so screwed, even though it was supposed to be the 3rd best in the state.

Perhaps they aren't killed in the same numbers in Ukraine, but mass kidnapping and relocation to Russia is pretty shit too.
Maybe all war is horrible, and should be used as a very last resort to save civilian lives. Maybe people should just be allowed to live their lives in peace.
Wouldn't that be nice.
