The Iraq war is said to have resulted in 1 million deaths the difference is russia have weapons of mass destruction A message to the future generations never make russia feel threatened the difference between "looking dangerous" and "being dangerous".Russia describes military doctrine as defensive military doctrine. With regard to nuclear weapons specifically, Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons: in response to the use of nuclear and other types of weapons of mass destruction against it or its allies,in case of aggression against Russia with the use of conventional weapons when the very existence of the state is threatened Russia has the World's Largest Bomber As of 2022, the Federation of American Scientists estimates that Russia possesses 5,977 nuclear weapons, while the United States has 5,428; Russia and the U.S. each have about 1,600 active deployed strategic nuclear warheads. Russia has the most nuclear weapons of any country, at 6,257. Of these, 1,458 are active, meaning they are already deployed, 3,039 are available (can be deployed if needed) and 1,760 are retired (out of use and awaiting dismantlement How do Russian nuclear weapons compare to the rest of the world?

Who have killed more people in last two decades ? America or Russia 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. Many civilians have also been injured. Because not all war-related deaths have been recorded accurately by the Iraqi government and the U.S.-led coalition, the numbers are likely much higher. Several estimates based on randomly selected household surveys place the total death count among Iraqis in the hundreds of thousands. Several times as many Iraqi civilians may have died as an indirect result of the war, due to damage to the systems that provide food, health care and clean drinking water, and as a result, illness, infectious diseases, and malnutrition that could otherwise have been avoided or treated. The war has compounded the ill effects of decades of harmful U.S. policy actions towards Iraq since the 1960s, including economic sanctions in the 1990s that were devastating for Iraqis. Despite more than $100 billion committed to aiding and reconstructing Iraq, many parts of the country still suffer from lack of access to clean drinking water and housing.

Its funny that people choose to live down there for a "vacation" spot and then when they lose their home or property, they bitch and cry. I don't sympathize with these people who choose to live here. They darn well know the dangers of living the coastal life in Florida. Why risk LIFE and PROPERTY? However, I do sympathize to the people that are forced to live here. The people who's jobs were moved/relocated here. Or those who needed cheap realty/homes to survive and put dinner on the table. Or those who were born and raised there. It's no fault of their own unlike the people who purposely move there. I like my property and my home and of course, my life. Why in the world would I move to a place that would jeopardize all that?????? And I know the people are going to be "There are natural disasters everywhere" Yes, of course there is and I agree. But I'd rather live in a low risk disaster area than a high risk area. AKA Florida, Gulf Coast, Carolina's coasts, tornado alley, wild fire ridden west coast and so on. I've been through super storm Sandy here in PA. Damage was minimal. Lost a tree and a few roof shingles. But not the home or life. Yes, I've been in the Blizzard of 96 with 4 feet of snow. Still had a home after that. Been in a few Nor'easters and have a home. Been through a Derecho too. House still here. Heck, even had a tornado passed through in town a few years ago but it was an EF0 and still have a home.
