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 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.
