Putin Unleashes Record Bombing in Ukraine as the World Watches Gaza
thedailybeast.com

Almost 90 bombs were dropped in one region in just 24 hours.

Russia unleashed an unprecedented bombardment in southern Ukraine overnight in what local officials described as a “massive attack” in the conflict which has continued to rage even as the international community’s attention has moved to the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The Ukrainian Internal Affairs Ministry on Monday morning said Russia dropped at least “87 aerial bombs on populated areas of the Kherson region - the largest number for all time.” At least eight people were also injured in other Russian strikes carried out in the Odessa region further to the west on Sunday night.

Down from 60,000,000 in 1492

The rest of the planet lost 2/3 of humans from the same diseases. You can't blame Europeans for that.

No they didn't. They lost population due to the plague. The natives lost some due to the plague, but they lost way more than that due to the other diseases already present in Europe when Magellan and Columbus first landed.

About the same 2/3 of the population died in the new world due to disease.

Bullshit. About 90% of the original population died before the plague even hit Europe. You are trying to revise history, and flat out lying.
