Bucky was unflinching in his assessment. He knew war, he knew what it did to countries that weren't prepared for it, he knew what would happen when the infrastructure of the planet just crumbled under the invasion of another force. True, he had mostly dealt with one country attacking another, but this still held true.
"There'll have been further fighting on Earth, there'll be disease rampant because of the damage and loss of infrastructure. People will have died of starvation, bad water, people not used to those conditions. I'd be surprised if at least one nuke hadn't gone off, triggered against the Asgardians even too late. If we get back to a planet of even a couple of million, I'd be surprised."
Maybe they couldn't bring them all, but they could do something. They could give hope that another world would continue on.
