  8. @fixatedpersonsunit Those allies the US dragged into war? You forgot Ukraine. Yes, Ukraine fought with the US after 9/11. Anything lower than stabbing an ally who bled for you? #NATO #GWOT #NATO #IraqWar #9/11 counteroffensive.news/p/ukrain

    It was Night of the Long Knives for Ivan Raiklin’s loyalty club of 200,000 distributed Proud Boys to be a dystopian #WideAwakes.

    The losers of the #American #CivilWar, #WWII, #ColdWar, #apartheid, and #GWOT all teamed up for a dystopian cowabunga.

  11. It's curious that given events in Iraq, the interview doesn't ask #Bush to reflect on the consequences of the #GWOT. The focus is of course on #9/11 and the global #counterterrorism war, and less on the parallel #counterinsurgency wars going on in Iraq and #Afghanistan. So Bush doesn't say much about events in Iraq. But his shallow and simplistic summary of the counterterrorism mission as just killing bad guys speaks volumes.

  12. The Costs of War Project (@CostsOfWar): "The human costs of war are tragically high. Of the estimated 929,000 people who have died in the post-9/11 wars, at least 387,072 were civilians—a figure that is likely a vast undercount. watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/fi wsj.com/articles/u-s-military-" | Nitter by PussTheCat.org – nitter.pussthecat.org/CostsOfW
