It is amazing how easily you wipe away agency and blood off those who actually actually carried out the overwhelming majority of the violence which killed those

  If America didn't decide to invade a country that it had absolutely no business invading, exactly like Russia did, how many would have died? The US knew exactly what it was doing when it took advantage of very old sectarian conflicts and reignited them so that it could more easily occupy the country. I'm not wiping away the responsibility of the insurgeants who killed civilians (the US directly killed tens of thousands too), but I'm also not handwaving away America's responsibility like you seem to be doing just because you can't seem to accept that the US military destroyed an the lives of an entire generation of people, and the region they live in.

    >how many would have died? This is literally unknowable. Iraq in all likely would have become another Syria during the Arab Spring under Saddam. > The US knew exactly what it was doing when it took advantage of very old sectarian conflicts and reignited them so that it could more easily occupy the country. Have you resorted to just make things up now?

      Are you saying that they did not play the sunni and shia divide? Again your first point is a complete cop out. Ukraine could've spiraled into a civil war anyways, so russia isn't really responsible for the deaths happening now. Right?
