Captain Fishback’s activism came soon after the exposure of the #sexual humiliation and #violence committed in the #AbuGhraib prison west of Baghdad. His actions shattered the Pentagon’s insistence that the torture in the prison was an isolated case. In the aftermath, Congress passed the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005.

#ObliviousConsumption: "In a place like #Afghanistan, the pressing question is whether any #death can today be considered unrelated to #war," Stephanie Savell, Costs of War co-director and author of the report, said in a statement. "Wars often kill far more people indirectly than in direct combat, particularly young children."

I can't believe how many people buy the media bullshit about why the USA is spending billions in Ukraine.

Hint: US Politicians don't give a damn about freedom, sovereignty, the rule of law or which people are under the heels of the Russians.

They care about OIL.

The USA isn't spending billions to promote freedom, baseball and apple pie.

Ukraine is not an oil producer it is an oil transporter. Much of the oil and gas moving into Europe is routed through pipelines in Ukraine. If Russia controls Ukraine they can choke Europe's oil supply whenever they want.

If you don't get it, or if the media has your mind clouded, name a country without oil or oil pipelines that the United States spends money to protect from it's neighbors.

Haiti and Puerto Rico could use a few billion dollars each in humanitarian aid. They won't get it without oil fields.

When did the US Congress declare war on Syria? Seems like another illegal war to steal oil or oil pipelines. #Syria #Libya #Iraq #Venezuella #Palestine #Afghanistan #Bosnia #WarForOil #OilMonopoly

Ich wollte nur noch mal an den tatsächlichen Grund für die Aggressivität gegenüber dem #Iran erinnern. Neben #Trump s Wiederwahlhilfe wird es wieder nur ein Raubzug.
