The U.S is committing war crimes in Iran? Trump wants out threatening to destroy bridges and infrastructure.

@Gibbon Recent research published in The Lancet Global Health (2025) indicates that unilateral sanctions imposed by the U.S. and EU since 1970 are associated with an estimated 38 million excess deaths. Other estimates, such as those from the Costs of War Project, suggest 4.5–4.7 million direct/indirect deaths in post-9/11 wars

@takedredpill Using the Lancet sanctions study as a counterpoint to Iran’s direct mass killings risks false equivalence: one is a debated foreign policy consequence, the other is documented, intentional state murder on a massive scale.
