    I think most critically what this graphic fails to count is the war deaths. The U.S. killed several million Iraqi civilians alone. Then of course, we also must count the deaths from destroyed civilian infrastructure, deaths from the massive refugee crisis…

    There are other major sources of death besides war that I’m not even mentioning, but really this number is a gross underestimate.

    If it’s being written in English, it probably should use a comma separator rather then a full stop, like 8,000,000 rather than 8.000.000. I think (though I’m not 100% certain) that applies equally to all variations of English.

    Currently it’s like “8 people died of this, 7 people died of this” and “we are certain to 6 decimal places”.

        I really hope at least 1 lib downvoting this actually bothers to read just half of this article. You know, for their own intellectual honesty. Great stuff.

      The first sources claiming there was a manufactured famine in the USSR came from highly right-wing fascist and corporate sources. At the time of their publishing, many were rightfully dismissed by leftists and normal people as being politically-motivated fake news.

      However, in modern times we now have right-wing fascist and corporate entities citing these sources, who now have a sepia tone of authenticity merely for being supposedly old firsthand accounts. And we have libs like yourself listening to the right-wing citing the right-wing about a socialist country supposedly killing its own citizens in a time of dire need.

      Not to mention that said socialist country soonafter completely ended the famines that had been plaguing the region for centuries.

      Use your head.
