Over 350,000 Killed by Violence, $4.4 Trillion Spent and Obligated

The wars begun in 2001 have been tremendously painful for millions of people in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan, and the United States, and economically costly as well. Each additional month and year of war adds to that toll. Moreover, the human costs of these conflicts will reverberate for years to come in each of those four countries. There is no turning the page on the wars with the end of hostilities, and there is even more need as a result to understand what those wars’ consequences are and will be.

Calculators are below, with the new calculator tallying the costs of the latest episode of eternal war (ISIS) included:

The MIC is so exceptionally good at producing wars that they got a president to go to war who had told all of us, when he was a candidate, that he would not do so. And the U.S. is the now the aggressor in another oil-soaked war.
