Fediverse vs Disinformation

None of our wars are defensive nor are they for the benefit of the people of those countries. We go to war for resources and to keep the south impoverished so that they are most easily exploitable. We certainly cannot expect every country ever to act perfectly reasonably but it should be noted that not a single battle has been fought on american soil since the "battle" of wounded knee in 1890 and that was a slaughter. We have never been threatened militarily. We are not the world police and it is not our place to be exert our power over others to "save them". Living conditions only get worse after our invasions.

We slaughtered so many north koreans they lost 20% of their population. Bombers would come back without dropping any bombs because there weren't any targets left to hit. source 635,000 tons of bombs and 32,557 tons of napalm were used by the United States

There are no innocent civilians. It is their government and you are fighting a people, you are not trying to fight an armed force anymore. So it doesn't bother me so much to be killing the so-called innocent bystanders.

More recently US claimed the presence of WMD in Iraq to justify their invasion but this was later proven false. source They also obviously used 9/11 to justify their invasion despite it being perpetrated by a saudi who directly quotes part of his motivation for the attack as being US culpability in the palestinian apartheid. Because of this at least 480,000 people died directly from violent causes during the war, including 244,000 civilians. source If deaths from disease, displacement, and destruction of infrastructure are also included, the death toll is around 2.4 million. source 43,000 Iraqis were detained, more than 70% of whom were innocent. source An unmentioned major long-term effect of the US invasion of Iraq is cancer and birth defects due to the US firing depleted uranium. Iraqi government figures show the following pattern regarding the rate of cancer cases: 40 people out of 100k prior to the First Gulf War (1991); 800 out of 100k (1995); >1,600 out of 100k (2005). source

We have no system to register all of them, so we have so many cases we are missing... I think I only know of 40-50 percent of the cases because so many families have their babies at home and we never know of these, and other clinics are not registering them either.

Some of the US war crimes in Iraq

• Abu Ghraib
• Nisour square massacre
• Chelsea Manning leak

I could go on, all of our invasions and genocides are like this

This does not seem like world policing to me, it doesn't seem like protecting civilians against an oppressive state apparatus that can't be reasoned with. To me it seems like we are the oppressive state that can't be reasoned with.
