The estimates I've seen are 300.000 killed in Iraq. There's more Russians killed alone than that, let alone Ukrainian military and civilian casualties...

    Ok, some in Yemen and Somalia too, but Wikipedia claims the cost of life of the gwot was 4.5 million, and I've seen credible estimates as high as 6.

    And I think in this situation we'd only really be comparing Ukrainian casualties to them.

    Just 15172 civilians killed in Ukraine, according to UN, though. About 40k injured. That's the lower estimate, yes, but, in comparison, the USA has committed more than 100k confirmed civilians kills in just Iraq alone.
