It is both misleading and grossly insulting for Donald Trump to label the existing Ukraine-Russia conflict as “certainly the most deadly” and "probably the biggest" since World War II (link). Two pre-drone wars must be taken into account in that stretch of time: the war in Korea and the war in Vietnam. Together, they accounted for an estimated 5 to 7 million casualties, civilian and military, with no single agreed-upon tally. The dead were American, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, and many other nationalities. Trump is again seeking to aggrandize his place in history by attempting to strike a peace deal, but misrepresenting history should not be part of such a deal.
