    I would fucking love to know what absolute demon inside the WH had to calculate the exact amount that these victims would receive. It sounds like a neoliberals wet dream to be sitting half a world away and calculate exactly what it costs to murder an innocent.

      Betting they did all the homework, adjusting to the economic output of the country (which the US had singlehandedly crippled even before the invasion), the life expectancy (which the US singlehandedly lowered), and of course the exchange rate at the time. Bet they were real proud of the research and the figures they came up with.

      Wonder how many of the injured required chronic care that would blow through that pittance, assuming they could even access it? :amerikkka:
