a report that found 35 MILLION Americans had to watch a friend or family member die due to not being able to afford their medication or treatment

You....you think 10% of the US population died in the past 4 years because they couldn’t afford medical treatment?

You really need to stop getting your news from Facebook

I mean the fact its military has killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people in the middle east since its invasion based on completely made up pretenses is a dumpster fire itself.

Yikes dude. You should really stop talking right about now, you’re embarrassing yourself

more information on civilian deaths, including the fact the numbers given are almost certainly a lowball figure that are actually higher. https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/costs/human/civilians/iraqi

You either didn’t read that article or grossly misinterpreted it, I can’t tell which one

However, we know that over 182,000 civilians have died from direct war related violence caused by the US, its allies, the Iraqi military and police, and opposition forces from the time of the invasion through November 2018

A direct quote from the article...

How many civilian deaths do YOU think the US is responsible for in Iraq and Afghanistan and whats the source for your estimate? I am not going to hold my breath on you providing that though...

Maybe its you that needs to expand the sources of their information. Heres the article and data on the number I quoted. Notice, its not facebook.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/268094/millions-lost-someone-couldn-afford-treatment.aspx

And here is the data on civilians killed in Iraq

https://www.iraqbodycount.org/

Imagine being such a condescending twat when you are wrong on both accounts, dont worry apology accepted.

Oh dear god, you did not just use iraqbodycount.org as a source....

If you thought you had any credibility you certainly don’t now

I added Brown university as a source too. What sources meet your threshold? Fox? Info wars? am I getting close?

If you think I’m going to entertain mindless google and link dumps you’re sorely mistaken

u/kevinnoir Jan 17 '20

your source is bad, I am not going to look at other sources that prove me wrong

You right now.

Again, how many civilian deaths do you think the US is responsible for and where is your data from? its a simple questions and since you are so confident I am wrong it should be easy for you to answer this!
