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.

    I live(d) in the southwest US, and know a lot of natives that would be able to point to sources that I can’t, that say otherwise.

      The primary disconnect, if you read the link I posted, is that there were other vectors for smallpox deaths.

      Nobody is denying that thousands upon thousands of people died of smallpox, that DEFINITELY happened.

      It just wasn’t caused by infected blankets.
