    Not to detract from the horribleness of this, but in case anyone else is wondering how Ukraine had/has the world’s highest mortality rate with the Gaza genocide unfolding, the latter isn’t counted because America doesn’t recognize Palestine.

      Then don’t. Your remark comes across as disrespectful. Don’t put horrible things as if it were an atrocity competition.

        I’m not; I was just explaining the background of the “highest mortality rate” thing because it’s not what one would expect (or at least not what I expected). I wasn’t trying to compare the two.
