Easy to Poach, Hard to Keep

The Sokovian incident didn't cause much of a stir globally.

In the chaos Ultron had created this time, it had only used the civilians as hostages and a distraction, and hadn't aimed to kill them.

Less than 1,000 people in total had died.

In ordinary times, gunfire broke out every now and then in Sokovia's city center, and dozens of civilians could be killed or injured at any time.

There had been several slightly larger conflicts in the country's recent history, and while there was no exact figure for the number of civilian deaths, the number of casualties was estimated to range anywhere from thousands to tens of thousands.

Hundreds of people dying in Sokovia wouldn't make the headlines.

If this had happened in New York ten years ago, it might have been called the world's worst tragedy, and would still be in the top five to this day.
