Yeah I don’t doubt that. I just say 2M because it’s the generally agreed upon starting place. After that people try to parse out what “counts” for the numbers. Like people don’t want to count deaths due to chemical exposure, radiation, starvation after direct occupation ended, etc. even though that all very clearly is the fault of the US and allies. The ongoing political strife and any assassinations or purges that occur are also directly on the US. There’s also the number of casualties which I don’t even know the numbers on… probably 10x based on other conflicts. Someone that didn’t die but still got blinded or lost limbs. Or children born with birth defects due to environmental contamination caused by the US. All the stuff doctors and experts all know exactly where to place blame for it, and yet the western media will essentially NEVER mention deaths and casualties except to mention the whatever number of US soldiers that died or were wounded. Just blatant dehumanization. Victim blaming, etc. Frum is just an especially gross little worm but only one of thousands like him. It’s why I find it incredibly hard to muster much sympathy when they whine about Trump saying he’s gonna do whatever to them. Trump found the right thing for the wrong reasons to at least some of the weasels… meh, I’d take it.
I saw recently that the total number of deaths due to the “war on terror” is up to 4.5 million.
