"No one knows with certainty how many people have been killed and wounded in Iraq since the 2003 United States invasion. However, we know that between 184,382 and 207,156 civilians have died from direct war related violence caused by the U.S.,
 its allies, the Iraqi military and police, and opposition forces from the time of the invasion through October 2019. The violent deaths of Iraqi civilians have occurred through aerial bombing, shelling, gunshots, suicide attacks, and fires started by bombing.
Are you saying that the US has carried out suicide attacks against Iraqui civilians? Obviously, this is not something that has happened.

The number you are citing includes deaths caused by the opposition, aka the side the US was fighting.


It's been 2 months since the Russian invasion, despite Ukraine's resistance, war maps show that Putin is actually gaining ground, especially after the fall of Mariupol, and the military advances in the Donbas region, while they are extremely close to Kharkiv. On top of that, Odesa is certainly their next target, since its prime location, which would block Ukraine's access to the sea.

Certainly, Putin didn't win the war within a few days, just like he expected, however, things have taken a turn for the worse, mourning thousands of casualties.
Both sides are likely seeing losses greater than what they would like. Regardless of how the war ends, based on how much of Russia's military was committed to Ukraine, after everything is said and done, Russia will be much more vulnerable to attack because the world will see that it's military is a joke.
