1. I suppose now would be a bad time to raise the misleading nature of Mercator projection...

Russia has a GDP of $1.483T and a population of 144.1M ( per person GDP of $10.3K)

Ukraine has a GDP of $155.6B and a population of 44.1M (per person GDP of $3530)

1/4-1/3 the population ON TOP OF a per capita GDP that is only 1/3... And yet they will fight.

That says more about the fight they're up against -- which they understand better than any of us, but are doing it nonetheless -- than a wonky map.

3. This has a little bit of the Red/Blue map disproportion feel to it. People fight wars, not land.

A lot of the red is sparsely populated wasteland.

4. Exactly. Land mass isn't an indication of anything but land mass. 🇺🇦🌻❤🌻🇺🇦
