Stopping the Nazi war machine dead in its tracks and fighting them tooth and nail all the way back to Berlin is pretty impressive

>While the UK was obviously important in WW2, frankly its role is a bit overstated while the Soviet Union’s role is a bit understated
I would say ‘a bit’ is an understatement in itself. The British lost 800,000 soldiers. The Americans lost 400,000. The Soviets lost possibly up to 14,000,000. Only one in 5 Russian men born in 1926 lived past 1945. They absolutely won the war for the Allies, and did so with unimaginable losses.
Edit: corrected numbers

If they’re drinking the same water he may well make it to 150.

Reply to Indigenous people are less likely to survive the year after an ICU admission. 12 months after being admitted to intensive care, an Indigenous person is more likely to have died than a non-Indigenous person, according to Australian research. by MistWeaver80
How does that compare with indigenous people who have not been to the ICU?
