US post-9/11 wars caused 4.5 million deaths, displaced 38-60 million people, study shows

A long time ago somebody linked me to a whole bunch of pictures and video from the invasion, and it was...Barbarossa-type shit. The image of the grinning American trooper hoisting his flamethrower in front of someone's doomed farm, while not gory, is it's own kind of horrifying. I highly recommend the article What I saw in Fallujah. It's tough to read but necessary, from someone who was there on the ground and outside the purview of official media.

It would seem insane to me that none of these people ever went to the Hague if I didn’t know that the US has already threatened to bomb it. As a kid I used to think international law was some solemn thing, now I see It's a comedy

Fun fact: the Hague Invasion Act was signed in August of 2002
