Libya, Syria, Somalia and Yemen: Calculating the Millions-High Death Toll of America’s Post-9/11 Wars
(26.4.2018)
As Barbara Lee presciently warned her colleagues before she cast her lone dissenting vote in 2001, we have “become the evil we deplore.” But these wars have not been accompanied by fearsome military parades (not yet) or speeches about conquering the world. Instead they have been politically justified by “information warfare” to demonize enemies and fabricate crises, and then waged in a “disguised, quiet, media free” way, to hide their cost in human blood from the American public and the world.
After 16 years of war, about 6 million violent deaths, 6 countries utterly destroyed and many more destabilized, it is urgent that the American public come to terms with the true human cost of our country’s wars and how we have been manipulated and misled into turning a blind eye to them – before they go on even longer, destroy more countries, further undermine the rule of international law and kill millions more of our fellow human beings.
Secretive U.S. Base in Somalia Signals New Phase of War
The U.S. has described the dry and rugged mountains of northern Somalia as the main hub from which ISIS controls its global operations. Amid an increasing number of U.S. drone strikes and raids supporting the Somali government in the war against ISIS, the United States is now expanding its presence in the port city of Bosaso and effectively building a new military base, which will be used for combat and surveillance operations targeting “terror groups” in the region as well enhancing maritime security, according to Somali security officials in Puntland. The CIA will also expand its operations there, the officials said.
Trump’s ‘blow ‘em up’ threat to Oman means he’s now attacked or threatened 1 out of every 13 countries
He’s launched strikes in seven countries so far this term — Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen — after also attacking some of those countries in his first term. That doesn’t even count the strikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean, which have targeted nearly 60 vessels and killed more than 190 people.
He has also threatened or left open the possibility of strikes against seven others this term: Canada, Colombia, Cuba, Greenland (which is part of Denmark), Mexico, Panama and now Oman. He also threatened Mexico and North Korea in his first term.

How many countries has the US bombed since 2001, and how much has it cost?
(March 3, 2026)
In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, attacks, President George W Bush launched what he called a “war on terror”, a global military campaign that reshaped US foreign policy and triggered wars, invasions and air strikes across numerous countries.
According to an analysis by Brown University’s Watson Institute of International & Public Affairs, US-led wars since 2001 have directly caused the deaths of about 940,000 people across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and other conflict zones

Epstein Flipped Israel’s Gaza-Tested Biometric Scanners Into Nigeria Ports Deal for UAE
(February 16, 2026)
Epstein was keen to profit from armed conflicts on the African continent. While negotiating DP World’s access to Nigeria, he was also helping Zeitlin navigate around U.S. sanctions on Ivan Glasenberg, the Israeli-South African CEO of mining giant Glencore, and Oleg Deripaska, then-chairman of the Russian aluminum titan Rusal. Glencore’s operations had been disrupted by a fraud probe into their dealings with Israeli mining kingpin Dan Gertler in Congo-Kinshasa. “Do you know Oleg Deripaska or Ivan Glasenberg?” Zeitlin asked Epstein. “Easy,” Epstein replied.
The American financier had deep ties to Israeli mining and military outfits in Africa, which he helped support alongside former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak—a close associate with whom Epstein corresponded almost daily. “With civil unrest exploding in ukraine syria, somolia, libya, and the desperation of those in power,” Epstein wrote in a 2014 email to Barak, “isn’t this perfect for you.” Barak replied, “You’re right [in] a way. But not simple to transform it into a cash flow.”
US Bombed Seven Countries in 2025 as Trump Dramatically Expanded Airstrikes
According to a report from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (ACLED) released earlier this year, Trump launched nearly as many airstrikes in just his first five months in office as President Biden did during his entire four-year term.
If Trump’s claims of a Christmas Eve attack on Venezuela and reports that it was a CIA drone strike are true, the US has bombed seven countries this year, on top of the airstrikes targeting alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific Ocean.
At my direction, @USTreasury is investigating allegations that under the feckless mismanagement of the Biden Administration and Governor Tim Walz, hardworking Minnesotans’ tax dollars may have been diverted to the terrorist organization Al-Shabaab.

Thanks to the leadership of @POTUS @realDonaldTrump, we are acting fast to ensure Americans’ taxes are not funding acts of global terror.
We will share our findings as our investigation continues.
“The Largest Funder of Al-Shabaab Is the Minnesota Taxpayer”
(November 19, 2025)
Minnesota is drowning in fraud. Billions in taxpayer dollars have been stolen during the administration of Governor Tim Walz alone. Democratic state officials, overseeing one of the most generous welfare regimes in the country, are asleep at the switch. And the media, duty-bound by progressive pieties, refuse to connect the dots.
In many cases, the fraud has allegedly been perpetrated by members of Minnesota’s sizeable Somali community. Federal counterterrorism sources confirm that millions of dollars in stolen funds have been sent back to Somalia, where they ultimately landed in the hands of the terror group Al-Shabaab. As one confidential source put it: “The largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer.”
Nach Irakkrieg II jetzt Somaliakrieg II: kleine Chronologie für den Bimbesbürger

Kapitel III: Der erste Irakkrieg und der Zerfall Somalias
Bereits während des Zusammenbruchs der Sowjetunion wurde der somalische Diktator Siad Barre und Statthalter der USA am Horn von Afrika aus Washington plötzlich fallen gelassen.
Über die Gründe heisst es da im dt-sprachigen Wikipedia-Eintrag
„als Menschenrechtsverletzungen seines Regimes umfangreicher und offensichtlicher wurden und er nach dem Ende des Kalten Krieges seine Bedeutung als Bündnispartner verloren hatte„
„Seine Bedeutung als Bündnispartner verloren“. Am Horn von Afrika. In dem Augenblick, als der Truppenaufmarsch des US-Militärs in der Region für den ersten Irakkrieg losging?
Denn nachdem der irakische Diktator Saddam Hussein am 2.August 1990 urplötzlich in Kuwait einmarschiert war, begann unmittelbar darauf bereits ein bis dato unvorstellbarer Militäraufmarsch der USA in der arabischen Welt, angeblich für eine „insgesamt defensive“ Militäraktion um den Irak am Eindringen nach Saudi-Arabien zu hindern.
Am frühen Morgen des 17. Januar 1991 beginnen die Alliierten den ersten Irakkrieg mit einem massiven Luftschlag.
Am 26.Januar 1991 muss der durch die USA fallengelassene Diktator Somalias Siad Barre aus der Hauptstadt Mogadishu fliehen.
Am 12. April 1991 tritt der „Waffenstillstand“ zwischen den US-geführten Koalitionsstreitkräften und dem irakischen Diktator Saddam Hussein in Kraft, welcher bekanntermassen jahrzehntelang zuvor als treuer CIA-Agent gedient hatte. Roger Morris umschrieb es später während des zweiten Irakkrieges am 14.März 2003 in der New York Times folgendermassen:„Erinnert Euch: Saddam war unser Mann“.
Hussein war bereits 1968 unter US-President Lyndon B.Johnson mit Hilfe der CIA im Irak an die Macht geputscht worden.
Am 28. Mai 1991 verkündete dann das Pentagon, dass 464.000 US-Soldaten (welche die plötzlich abgebrochene Invasion des Irak durchgeführt hatten) inzwischen die „Region am Persischen Golf“ verlassen hätten. 76.000 Soldaten blieben dort allerdings stationiert.
US-Truppen waren also zu Zehntausenden in einer Region, die noch zwei Jahre zuvor für sie absolut tabu gewesen war. Was passierte nun?
Püntklich zum Ende des Irakkrieges Nr.1 zerfiel der Staat Somalia.
Kapital IV: Vom Golf nach Somalia
Am 18.Mai 1991, also zehn Tage vor Verkündung des offiziellen Waffenstillstands im Irak, verkündet Somaliland seine Unabhängigkeit.
Es grenzt im Norden direkt an die französische Küstenkolonie Djibouti („Dschibuti“), dem traditionell wichtigsten Militärstützpunkt für „westliche“ Flotten und Militärs in der Region, in welchem US-Spezialeinheiten und Geheimdienste der NATO-Staaten ein und aus gehen.
Während in Somaliland seitdem relative Ruhe herrscht, bricht im restlichen Somalia 1991 das Chaos aus. Rivalisierende Warlords stecken ihre Claims ab und kämpfen um die Macht.
Gleichzeitig spielt sich im bis zum Ende der Sowjetunion aus Moskau unterstützten Äthiopien eine interessante Paralellentwicklung ab….
Thema im UN-Sicherheitsrat: Heftige Kritik an Israels Anerkennung von Somaliland
Der UN-Sicherheitsrat kommt am Montag zu einer Dringlichkeitssitzung zusammen, weil Israel die ostafrikanische Republik Somaliland als unabhängigen Staat anerkannt hat.
Vor dem Treffen in New York warnten 21 überwiegend muslimische Länder in einer gemeinsamen Erklärung vor „schwerwiegenden Folgen“ des beispiellosen Vorgehens Israels für „den Frieden und die Sicherheit am Horn von Afrika und im Roten Meer“ sowie für die internationale Sicherheit.
UN Security Council to hold emergency meeting over Israel’s Somaliland recognition
„The UN Security Council will convene on Monday for an urgent session following Israel‘s recognition of the Republic of Somaliland,“ Israel‘s Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon said on US social media company X Saturday.
„We will not shy away from political discussions,“ he added.
African regional bodies reject recognition of Somaliland by Israel
Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 amid a descent into conflict and, despite having its own government and currency, had never been recognized by any nation in the world until Friday.
The African Union Chairperson, Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, said any attempt to undermine Somalia’s sovereignty risks peace and stability on the continent.
Türkiye, Saudi Arabia reject Israel’s recognition of Somaliland
Israel’s recognition of Somaliland as an independent country has triggered instant reaction from Türkiye and Saudi Arabia.
In a brief statement the Foreign Affairs Ministries of both countries issued hours after Israel became the first country to recognize the independence of Somaliland, they said the recognition is “unlawful.”
Somalia demands Israel withdraw Somaliland recognition
The sharp rebuke came a day after Israel became the first nation in the world to formally recognise Somaliland, triggering swift condemnation across African and Arab nations, and raising concerns about whether the move was part of an alleged Israeli plan to forcibly displace Palestinians.
Somaliland broke away from Somalia in 1991 following a brutal civil war but has never secured recognition from any United Nations member state. The self-declared republic has established its own currency, flag and parliament, though its eastern territories remain disputed.
Israel becomes first country to recognize Somaliland
It wasn‘t known why Israel made the declaration now or whether it was expecting something in return.
Earlier this year, U.S. and Israeli officials told The Associated Press that Israel had approached Somaliland about taking in Palestinians from Gaza as part of Donald Trump’s plan at the time to resettle that territory’s population.
