Small localised wars??

Did you know that the Vietnam War had the biggest aerial bombardment in history[1], of all wars?

The body count in Vietnam easily exceeded 1 million and may be as high as 4 million[2].

Do you think that's a small, localised conflict?

Yes, I do. Another war between great powers in 1970 could have had a death toll in hundreds of millions.
