    Thank you. Even all these years later it’s confusing and uncertain.

    Per Brown, 200-250k number total civilian deaths from violence in Afghanistan and Iraq. According to Lancet 31% of deaths due to violence were due to coalition forces, in Iraq. So, about 67k total in both wars if these numbers are combined. But with a huge number of violent deaths unexplained, maybe coalition forces directly killed over 100k total. Including indirect deaths it’s probably accurate to say “hundreds of thousands”

    Shame on the US for invading Iraq, and shame on Russia for invading Ukraine.
