The scale of it is just estonishing. We are responsible for the deaths of large percentages of whole countries' civilian populations. The Third Reich was amateur hour in comparison except they were obvious in their intention. We are insidious and sneaky.
Death is sad, but I’m not particularly sad about this guy’s death. 95 years is a damn good run... much better than being killed by a US missile blitz or starved by sanctions.

But yeah, it’s probably been more consistent since the permanent military mobilization that started with WWII.
