Summary

To commemorate Dick Cheney's death, we have remastered philosopher Stefan Molyneux's 2013 presentation on the War in Iraq. He critically analyzes the Iraq War on its 10th anniversary, revealing the staggering human cost with approximately 1.5 million Iraqi casualties and the devastating impact of sanctions. Stefan examines the propaganda of weapons of mass destruction, mental health issues faced by U.S. veterans, and the economic corruption linked to wartime contracts. The discussion also highlights the environmental destruction caused by military actions and its effect on local perceptions of U.S. presence. He concludes by urging listeners to confront the harsh truths of war and our shared responsibilities.

Hi, everybody. It's Defend Maloneyuton Freedom and Radio. I hope you're doing well.

So on this 10th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, I think it's worth having a look at some of the

0:10.9

facts that you're being shielded from. Generally, when you're within an empire, there's this sort of biosphere,

0:17.3

this obsidian biosphere that keeps reality out, and the only thing that pierces it through

0:21.6

is the occasional blowback, which causes self-pity and hysteria because the provocations overseas are not

0:28.0

particularly seen. So let's look at some of the facts of what has occurred in Iraq over the past 10 years.

0:35.1

And really, for 10 years before that, there was a UK-U.S.-led blockade of

0:40.3

some pretty essential medical supplies and food and other resources. One thing to remember is that

0:46.3

the population of Iraq is a little over 30 million, and the population of America is 313 million.

So roughly, it's a 10 to 1 thing.

So when we talk about the deaths of 5 million Iraqi children,

1:07.0

when we look at this data.

So as a result of the coalition invasion,

1:12.6

approximately 1.5 million Iraqis are dead.

1:17.6

This would be the equivalent of 15 million Americans killed as the result of an invasion.

1:23.6

The US veterans in medical facilities, there are approximately 1,000 suicide attempts every month

1:32.1

from these broken people. 18 suicides a day are completed. 320,000 veterans have brain injuries,

1:40.2

which of course are hugely expensive and problematic. Almost one in ten Iraqis have been displaced, which of course are hugely expensive and problematic.

1:45.0

Almost one in ten Iraqis have been displaced, which means they basically had to flee their homes,
