    According to ABC news

    It took over 10 years in Nam for that many US GI's to die.
    At the time the population of the US was about 200 million

    The current population of Russia = 144 million - that is about 72% of the then population of the USA.

    Everyone dies at the time and the manner that God has ordained. That was when and how God ordained that those Russians would die.

    OK - disclaimer - this is NOT a "C vs A" discussion!

    My reply had nothing to do with "C vs A". Or do you think that any post about the power of God has to do with "C vs A"?

    The bottom line is that for your "Open for discussion" topic that everyone dies at the exact time and in the exact way that God has purposed according to His will. No dies before "their time" or after "their time".

    Thus, those Russians soldiers, regardless of the number, died exactly as God purposed for them to die according to His will, just as those American soldiers did who died in the Vietnam War.

    War is a horrible thing. My brother, who was born 10 years before me, died about 2.5 years ago from the effects of being exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam.

    How many Ukrainians have died and what is the population of Ukraine and did ABC make the comparison? If not, why not?

    I saw the story and was curious who came up with the numbers. At this point, I’m very cynical about being manipulated by these types of reports.

    Does anyone remember about 8-10 years ago the widespread media mantra that the dictator in Syria (Al Assad(sp)) was going to be removed within a couple of months? He’s still there.

    The implication of this story is that Russia is losing. It comes a day after POTUS reveals in an interview the US and Ukraine are running low in artillery rounds. Perhaps someone sees a slip in public support for US involvement in Ukraine.

    There have been many stories of corruption in the transfer of funds, supplies to Ukraine, even transfers of some tax payer money back to the US to support Dems.

    I will wait and see if this story makes a difference.

    peace to you

    Genius! ... look how long it took China to depopulate by controlling Family Size, and Putin achieved it in a fraction of the time.

    Got to hand it to those Communists, They are more efficient at some things.

    So, over 7 million Ukrainians have been displaced by the war, and only God knows for sure how many have died.

    peace to you

    271,000 came to the USA. (Most headed towards Poland and other places near their home).

    At least 6,000 Ukrainian children have been taken to camps and other facilities in Russia and Russian-occupied territory since the invasion began, prevented from communicating with their families and subjected to pro-Russian re-education, according to a recent report from the Conflict Observatory, a research group that monitors alleged Russian war crimes in Ukraine.
