Eh no.

Imagine you're sitting in Canada and say "The opiod epidemic kills more people annually than WW II", and then when confronted, you say "Of course I mean Canadian lives in WW II!"

Americans may only see 55000 deaths in Vietnam. The rest of the world (and HN is international in audience) sees a lot more.
