I noticed it was the anniversary of the Iraq War (march 20) So i decided to post this in remembrance of all dead. I’m not sure to mark as NSFW or not, or if this post belongs. I will understand removal
And that was just one war in the wider war on terror. There were a lot of other countries (UK,Germany,Italy,Canada,France,Netherlands etc etc) but the US was the worst of them all.
4.5+ million dead. 38 million displaced.
PS: After the first gulf war, Iraq had to pay $52.4b+ dollars in reparations, since it was pressed by the UN security council. Guess how much the US paid in reparations for the invasion? Nothing. The UN didn’t bother.
Of course people are silent, it would take too much of a toll on their economy, therefore their convenience.
The US still holds about $100B in oil money it stole from Iraq.
But it actually stole way more, perhaps more than a trillion, which Iraq had to pay to private US contractors. The American taxpayers and soldiers got fleeced in that war, too.
