Researcher Nicolas J S Davies put together a three-part investigation for Consortium News in 2018 to find out how many people had been killed in America’s post-9/11 wars. Part one covers Iraq, part two covers Afghanistan and Pakistan, and part three covers Libya, Syria, Yemen and Somalia. At the end of the series, Davies writes the following:
“Altogether, in the three parts of this report, I have estimated that America’s post-9/11 wars have killed about 6 million people. Maybe the true number is only 5 million. Or maybe it is 7 million. But I am quite certain that it is several millions.”
Estimated 37 million displaced from the war on terror.
Estimated 1 million detained uyghurs
Obviously the 1m stat is an exaggeration to say the least but even if you take it at face value it’s lopsided.
Edit: why is my post purple?
2.4 million dead in Iraq alone
It’s new.
And that probably doesn’t even count the dead in Iraq due to sanctions in the 90s. Death to America.
