   When the two parties involved remain static that would be true in many cases. 10x the deaths for a day is less than 10 years of 1/10ths the deaths. Sure thats fair.

   But thats not the case here. We are talking about a relatively small war over a long period of time vs a world war involving the entire world, which based on past world wars is likely to last years.

   To put this to actual numbers. WWII resulted in, on average, 10,000 deaths per day over a 7 year period. Resulting in 53 million deaths total.

   By contrast in the ukranian-russian war, in its current phase has been going on for exactly 2 year as of 2 days ago. In the course of those two years there has been a total estimated death toll of half a million. That is 684 people per day.

   So a large world war results in ~20x more people killed per day then a much smaller, but potentially longer lasting war. Considering a global war tends to not be short, as ~7 years given past incidents that would mean the russion-ukrain war would have to last 140 years in order to cause more casualties than the world war that would result if the USA got directly involved.
