You’re going beyond the 20 year cutoff but either way that’s still less than half the US total in the same time period.
… how the fuck so
Casualties for the entirety of the ‘War On Terror’, including seriously wounded (and including part of the period, likewise, ‘beyond the 20 year cutoff’), usually hover around 1.5 million.
If we’re counting indirect deaths, then we have a lot of ‘fun’ things we can add to Russia’s list.
Iraq was a hollowed out pariah state in part because of Europe following the American position.
… yes, because Iraq definitely wasn’t a hollowed-out pariah state following the Iran-Iraq War, and certainly not following their widely condemned invasion which led to the First Gulf War. If it wasn’t for America, Iraq would’ve been enjoying the full fruits of international cooperation just like it did before.
Also like I said, a strong European response would’ve lowered the scale of the war, if not outright avoided it.
How the fuck so? By your own admission, it was over in three weeks. If Europe had completely embargo’d the US, it still wouldn’t have changed opinions inside of three weeks.
That’s a quarter to half a million deaths in one country caused solely by American diplomatic and economic clout.
First you’re in support of sanctions on aggressive hypermilitarized genocidal states, now in opposition because of the human cost of sanctions.
Great. Glad we’re dealing with such a principled and consistent stance.
Trump has total control over his party, but he still has people he needs to appease—including the military-industrial complex.
