the US 'Wars of Terror' Body Count

The US has lost 7000 state-soldiers, 7000 corporate-mercs, 1000 allied soldiers, 1000 NGOs and 200,000 recruited locals (including all their 'moderate ISIS' allies in Syria).
The countries they have attacked - Af-Pak, Iraq, Syria, Yemen - have lost 250,000 fighters and 350,000 civilians.
[From 'Human Cost of Post-9/11 Wars: Direct War Deaths in Major War Zones' (Crawford and Lutz 2019)]

That more civilians were killed than enemy combatants is typical of most modern wars but especially occupations like Iraq and Afghanistan. In WWI, 2 civilians were killed for every 3 soldiers killed, but by WWII that ratio had inverted to 3:2; in most modern wars civilians comprise 3 of 4 war causalities.  

These totals count only deaths "caused by war violence. It does not include indirect deaths, namely those caused by loss of access to food, water, and/or infrastructure, war-related disease." These disruptions cause a giant spike in the deaths of children, elderly, newborns, pregnant women, and people with disabilities or medical needs. The number of indirect deaths is always tricky to estimate but you would general multiple the number of 'direct deaths' by a factor of 3 to 8 depending on the situation. 'Indirect deaths' were very high in Iraq which had a middle-class dependent on a functioning civilization, conversely this number was much lower in Afghanistan which had suffered 30 years of unstop war before the US invaded; using a x5 multiplier is my rule of thumb. So the 600,000 humans directly killed by the USA would be closer to 3 million in total. This allows us to estimate the size of the stack of corpse we are standing on in 2020 as we wonder why people are so aggressive these day?

I would even go further and make the case that the all the recruited locals should be listed as killed by the occupiers. If you occupy a country, destroy its economy and then just post jobs paying good wages for 'bullet-catchers' willing to repress their own nation; I'd say those 200,000(!) dead cops & guards should be on the Anglo-American side of the butchers' tally. In return we can  toss in the 3000 bankers killed on Sept 11 2001, giving finals totals of:

2001-2019 'Wars of Terror' totals
Dead Anglo-Americans: 20,000
Dead Afghans, Pakistanis, Iraqis, Syrians and Yemenis: 3,000,000

Wayback in 2002, I guesstimated a 1:100 ratio in how many non-Whites would be killed per Anglo-American death. The current reckoning suggests the total has been closer to 1:150.

Another a notice for the margins arrived yesterday: For the first time the world’s largest tech companies - Apple, Google, Dell, Microsoft and Tesla - must face the Congolese families whose children were killed or maimed as forced child labor in cobalt mines. Cobalt is essential to power the rechargeable lithium batteries used in millions of products and 60% of it originates in DRC.  

"The families argue in the claim that their children were working illegally at mines owned by UK-Swiss mining company Glencore. The court papers allege that cobalt from the Glencore-owned mines is sold to Umicore, a Brussels-based metal and mining trader, which then sells battery-grade cobalt to Apple, Google, Tesla, Microsoft and Dell."

Glencore, eh? The same Glencore who was funded by convicted criminal, Marc Rich ((aka Marcell David Reich)) based on his criminal "highly leveraged business model" and whose wikipedia entry reads like a Exhibit A in a massive white-collar case? Yep, the same Glencore that "employs about 1,000 people at its Fraser copper and Nickel Rim South nickel-copper mines, as well as the Strathcona mill and a smelter in Falconbridge" after Falconbridge was taken over by Xstrata in 2006 and then bought out by Glencore in 2013. The same Glencore now facing "up to $7.5M fine for 2018 Sudbury incident that injured three" after being splashed with sulphuric acid.

In 2015 Glencore had $128 billion dollars [US] in total assets. For comparison, the total US gold reserves in 1996 were valued at $100 billion; the Apollo moon-landing program cost approximately $136 billion (in 2007 inflation); the total annual economic production of Morocco is 127 billion.
