Wars the US waged in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and Pakistan following September 11, 2001 caused at least 4.5 million deaths and displaced 38 to 60 million people, with 7.6 million children starving today, according to studies by Brown University.
All of that as revenge for the death of 2977 victims…
Noone with power gives a shit about life of a average US citizen.
This has been always about military industrial complex. Currently US spends 186.6 billion dollars a year to combat terrorism. Which means unless US is fighting something, somewhere they are losing money and they can’t have that.
9/11 was a coincidence as they were already planning the invasion of Iraq months before this event because Saddam announced that he would trade petrol with EUR instead of USD.
Are we just going to ignore the innocent people that died in Afghanistan?
Yeah, I remember them trying to first pin 9/11 on Saddam before it was confirmed to be Al Queda. It was weird. And then of course the made up WMD stuff.
Whoah whoah whoah. The dollar is perfectly green and any association with oil or bombs is purely coincidental. /s
All of that as revenge for Saddam Hussein humiliating an insecure cowboy’s daddy, let’s be honest here.
Pretty sure the US wouldn’t have went to Afghanistan if it wasn’t for 911… It’s this the new thing? Ignoring the invasion of Afghanistan? It’s the second time since I’m on Lemmy that I see people acting like that never happened…

Terrorist financed by Saudi Arabia found and killed in Pakistan -> Afghanistan was justified and totally not based on lies!
Not only that, the number of innocent civilians killed by the American forces was totally disproportionate to the American loss.
0.15% of their population vs 0.001% for the US.
