    You’re right, I hadn’t actually realized how small a number that was. That’s almost suspiciously small, given the sanctions against Russia.

    Mind you, I was also thinking of the sheer amount of brain drain and population drain Russia’s war has resulted in for them.

    Also, USA’s spending on its military-industrial complex compared to its spending on every other part of its government is destroying its population, but that’s another issue.

      Indeed, I think it’d be more accurate to say that both are hurting their people due to war spending rather than implying neither are.
