I found some isolated incidents of war crimes by the US in Iraq. There's nothing like command sanctioned massacring of civilians like the Russians are doing in Ukraine. Can you provide some more info?

- tawaydoo 4y agoI think it’s a bit of a dodge to say ‘the US followed the rules!’ when the entire premise for the Iraq war was willfully fabricated.

- fartsucker69 4y agothe known number of civilian deaths from various direct or indirect war actions (i.e. bombing etc.) is around 200.000, with around 10-20k being attributed to the U.S by most estimates. russia is getting closer every day but they'll take a while to reach it yet. but they are comparable numbers.
- addicted 4y agoRussia’s numbers are only lower because they’ve largely been defeated. If Russia had not been pushed away from Kyiv as dramatically as they were then their numbers would be a lot worse. Also, Ukraine has better public transport, etc. and a functional government and support from the rest of Europe for its refugees, which has given civilians time and opportunities to relocate.
- meheleventyone 4y agoThere are reports of around 10k civilian deaths in Mariupol alone so they might be way beyond that already if it’s substantiated.
