Some pretty fucking somber numbers/information in there. 75 countries, 7 trillion dollars(with trillions more unaccounted for, I seen up to 21 trillion), 44,000 bombs a year in 7 countries currently(up from Obamas 26,000) and no end in sight, just gonna get worse and USA gonna keep wasting even more money. Surprised the American people are so supportive of such a war that's basically bankrupting the country.
US Special Operations forces were deployed to 149 countries in 2017 alone, and the US has so many troops on so many bases in so many places on Earth that the Pentagon can?t even account for the whereabouts of 44,000 of them
But hey, support the troops yeah! What a price to pay to be able to stand and salute a flag or piece of music.
And this is why USA(gov or people) does not have a leg to stand on when it comes to lecturing china in its own war vs Islamic uyghur terror.
39% of the world and 75 countries and counting. This makes what china is doing look like child's play, their action can't even be called a war, its more of a policing and education drive compared to USAs own war vs terror.
And this isn't even counting all the military bases in the rest of the world, 40,000 in Japan, another 40,000 in Korea, USA appetite for war is endless
