Horrifying

"Estimates suggest that the Ukraine war entered the top quartile for total deaths as early as late May. And at a continued pace, the war will hit some 125,000 deaths if it lasts a year, well past the 80th percentile of wars."

This war will be among the deadliest of the last 200 years even if NATO and Russia manage not to slide into direct conflict

While the statistics are indeed horrifying, the study quoted in the article seems a bit silly to me. Comparing wars where soldiers rode into battle with sabres drawn and wars fought with satellite guided artillery is odd.
