    The upper estimates are around 90%. It’s likely lower. But even an order of magnitude like that is not “wiped out”. Millions of people still lived on the land

      My brother if there had a hundred people in your town you lost 70 to 90% of your people and then there were only 25 to 11 of you left alive I’d say your group was obliterated. I do not argue that there were still millions of natives left alive, but there were roughly 60 to 100 million natives prior to the first explorers arriving.

          I have never said this. It’s nice to know that you have a vivid imagination. Maybe you can use that big imagination to tell Putin a nice story and he can start to care about the ukranians.
