1ºUS airstrikes have killed at least 22,000 civilians since 9/11, research shows
The figure released by the organization Airwars, based on the number of US airstrikes, highlights the human cost of 20 years of the "war on terror. "The report, based on the US military's own claim that it has carried out nearly 100. 000 airstrikes since 2001, is an attempt to estimate the number of civilian deaths in the multiple conflicts that are part of the "war on terror".Air and drone strikes have killed at least 22,000 civilians - and perhaps as many as 48,000 - since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, according to a study released by Airwars, a civilian casualty tracking group Airwars.
2ºWhy has the US and NATO never been sanctioned for starting wars?
"Unless the West is looking for the outbreak of World War III, it would be advisable to stop the horrible hypocrisy and double standards against Russia," warns an American journalist.
The West's reaction to the Russian military operation in Ukraine has exposed its double standards and "high degree of hypocrisy," considering that wars waged by the U.S. abroad never received the punitive response they deserved, criticizes American journalist Robert Bridge in an opinion piece.
The events in Ukraine have shown that Washington and its allies are capable of destroying such countries as Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria, among others, with "almost total impunity", while Moscow and Russian President Vladimir Putin are being lynched in almost all media, the journalist writes.
Bridge recalls that for more than a decade Russia has been warning about NATO expansion, but its concerns were not only met with predictable "scorn," but the Atlantic Alliance continued to expand into Eastern Europe. "Imagine what Washington's reaction would be if Moscow were building an ever-expanding military bloc in South America," he questions.
"Arrogance and indifference."
Moscow's patience ended when Washington and NATO "began flooding neighboring Ukraine with a dazzling array of sophisticated weaponry amid requests for membership in the military bloc." For Russia, Ukraine "was beginning to pose an existential threat." In December 2021, in a last attempt to avoid escalation, Moscow "delivered draft treaties to the U.S. and the Atlantic Alliance requesting that they halt military expansion," but "once again" those proposals were met "with arrogance and indifference by Western leaders," the article's author criticizes.
Robert Bridge recalls that in the last two decades Washington and "its cronies" have engaged in "belligerent behavior". The "most notorious example of this is the invasion of Iraq in 2003. That disastrous war, which the Western media have labeled an unfortunate 'intelligence failure,' represents one of the most egregious acts of unprovoked aggression in recent memory," he denounces.
Washington accused Saddam Hussein of possessing weapons of mass destruction, and "instead of working with UN weapons inspectors, who were in Iraq trying to verify those allegations, the US, along with the UK, Australia and Poland launched a massive bombing raid [...] In the blink of an eye, more than a million innocent Iraqis were killed, injured or forced to leave their country because of this flagrant violation of international law," he recalls.
More than 900 lies by the U.S. government.
It was later revealed that then U.S. President George W. Bush and other senior officials in his Administration made more than 900 false statements between 2001 and 2003 in their "effort to bolster public support for the carnage" in Iraq. Yet somehow the Western media, which have become the most vigorous proliferators of military aggression, did not doubt the arguments presented for the war," the journalist censures.
For all that, "one would expect the US and its allies to be subject to severe sanctions. In fact, there were sanctions, but not against Washington. Ironically, the only sanctions that resulted from that crazy military adventure were against France which, along with Germany, refused to participate in the Iraqi bloodbath. The global hyperpower is not used to such rejection, especially from its supposed friends," he asserts.
"Whatever a person may think about the conflict now raging between Russia and Ukraine, there is no denying that the hypocrisy and double standards its perennial detractors hurl against Moscow is as shocking as it is predictable." In addition to the sanctions imposed against Russia, there has been a "deeply disturbing effort to silence" the Russian press, which could give Western audiences the option of seeing the other side of the conflict, he laments.
Bridge believes that what the US and its allies are doing is "so reckless, it leaves no room for debate, no room for discussion, no room to see Russia's position in this extremely complex situation." "Unless the West is looking for the outbreak of World War III, it would be advisable to stop the horrible hypocrisy and double standards against Moscow and patiently listen to their views and versions of the facts," he concluded.o
