Experts: US spent over $ 5 trillion on the “war on terror”

American taxpayers paid over $ 5,6 trillion dollars for the “war on terrorism” around the world, reports The Nation, citing the results of a study of Costs of War, conducted by a team of experts from Brown University, USA.

The report notes that this amount may be lower than real costs.

"So, in December, Donald Trump published a post on Twitter, which said that Washington" foolishly spent seven trillion in the Middle East. " This phrase confirms Costs of War's predictions that by the middle of the century the cost of fighting militants will reach almost 8 trillions of dollars, ”the article quotes. RIA News.

According to the study, the US military presence in one form or another remains in 76 countries - “they include both territories where the Air Force makes regular air strikes and countries where American specialists train local troops.”

However, the effectiveness of the Pentagon’s actions causes great doubts among specialists.

Great cities have become piles of stones, tens of millions of people have left their homes, millions of refugees continue to cross borders, disturbing peace in other countries, they state.

At the same time, experts point out that "in the United States there is practically no debate about the costs of the war on terrorism and the final results of the interventions." In their opinion, this is due to the specific nature of the conflict, in which there are no clearly marked fronts and borders.

Well, it’s not an expensive thing to arm and equip terrorists

US taxpayers have paid more than $ 5,6 trillion. dollars for the “war on terrorism” around the world,

But for some reason, to the place where these fighters against terrorism come, terrorism flourishes.

[Going]

They invested very "well" and are waiting for dividends.

[oleg-gr]

These costs are not the last. How much more needs to be done “useful” for bandits.

[bouncyhunter]

Victor, Vlad - welcome! These striped skunks will not regret as much (or even more) to preserve their influence and barmaley. Figley: the machine is on its side - just print.

Hello Pasha! , and they do not pay attention to prices, all for the sake of purpose.

[bouncyhunter]

In their "exceptional" mattresses do not know how to hold it, than they drive nails into the coffin themselves. And it’s okay, they would only drive themselves to the grave, because all who can be pulled along with them.

This business is beneficial - to "fight" with terrorism. So it turns out who is the richest in America - the "fighters" with terrorism !!!

[svd-xnumx]

and they do not pay attention to prices, all for the sake of purpose.

So basically they left this money inside their country by buying weapons from their companies, and even attracted third-party buyers by stirring up the “hives” at their borders.

[zhekazs]

The managers apparently counted incorrectly, like a negative trade balance, and they consider losses that cannot be compensated by the sale of weapons. This means that this year they will spoil even more vigorously all over the world.

They spent it only on the “struggle”, and on training five times more!

"
Did they spend 8 lards? For several soldiers they trained and fled in the first battle?

[just exp]

not lard, but 8 trillion, that’s 8 thousand lard.

Mistake !!! To support terrorism.

[zhekazs]

Amerzoid first incites, then sells weapons to both warring. And then, apparently, it turned out - the right hand does not know what the left is doing, they miscalculated a little. But these will take their grandmas away, who would doubt it.

[Vard]

I recall one joke from the times of the USSR .. And such a struggle for peace will begin ... That there will be no stone on a stone ...

[svp67]

I did not understand. Will the US spend 5 trillion on the fight against terrorism, or will it spend this money on joint actions with terrorism?

[Same lech]

According to the study, the US military presence in one form or another remains in 76 countries - “they include both territories where the Air Force makes regular air strikes and countries where American specialists train local troops.”

The load on the country is colossal ... I think the United States will inevitably expect the collapse of the USSR with such an overload of problems.

This is what a cost-effective printing house is: the more it leaves after scrap shipment, the greater the shortage and demand. And what kind of marketing: knocking on every door, breaking right in. If they don’t open the iron door, then they put their “products" under the door ..

[Sands Careers General]

First, star-stripes are starting a war, then they are selling weapons and profit to all parties.
And here, lately, seeing a debit with a loan does not agree.

[rocket757]

Well, yes, Uncle Sam will spend the next eleven lards correctly ???
Fresh dowry ... we'll see!

[bald]

What do you call terrorism? Maybe look there for terrorists. Do you have a mirror? There is a clue.

[Egorovich]

With the printing machine always turned on, you can fight, arm, disarm anyone, only the result from this is always very disastrous. Chaos.

[rotmistr60]

more than $ 5,6 trillion. dollars

Not surprisingly, terrorism has only grown in recent years. So much money from this amount swelled in support of the gangs.

[The Siberian barber]

US financial opportunities are impressive once again.

[Hurricane70]

Well, yes, yes ... And how many? And financially and geopolitically ...

[Incvizitor]

People do not fight against terrorism, but AGAINST, and only the fascists sponsor it.

[NF68]

I would also like to know exactly how much the United States spent on creating and supporting these terrorist organizations. I suppose that no less than a “fight” with terrorists.
