The US illegally invaded Iraq under fraudulent pretences and killed million of people. Many parts of Iraq are littered with depleted uranium that will poison generations to come. The US spent $300 million per day in Afghanistan for 20 years, enriching defence contractors and building little in the way of useful infrastructure. And many other smaller conflicts that got essentially no coverage in the media.

How are these a few minor fuckups? These are the actions of an imperial power that lies about enforcing a "rules based order" and whose agents face no repercussions for war crimes.
