<p>A recent study conducted by the Watson Institute for
International and Public Affairs at Brown
University revealed the consequences of
all wars promoted by the United States in the Middle
East and Asia since the terrorist attacks on September
11, 2011.</p>
<p>The author of the study, Neta Crawford, a professor at
Boston University, said the alleged intention of the
wars after the attack on the Twin Towers was "to defend
the United States against future terrorist threats from
Al-Qaeda and organizations affiliates", so, since 2001,
wars have expanded to more than 80 countries.</p>
<p>According to the figures in the report, the conflicts
waged by the U.S. caused more than 800,000 deaths,
including 335,000 civilians, and caused the displacement
of some 21 million people due to the violence unleashed.</p>
<p>Two reports released by the Costs of War project, based
at Brown University, provide a comprehensive estimate of
the financial and human cost of America’s post-9/11
wars.</p>
<p>The authors of the text explained that the death toll
could be higher if people who did not receive adequate
medical attention due to the destruction of civil
infrastructure were taken into account, as is currently
the case with the Yemeni people, who are currently under
attack by Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies, with support
from the U.S.</p>
<p>Regarding the economic cost of these wars, the report
estimates a total of $6.4 billion, of which at least one
billion was used to cover the costs of aftercare and
medical treatment for the U.S. military.</p>
<p>David Vine, a professor at the American University in
Washington D.C., said he had previously pointed out in
an article published by the newspaper The Hill, the
possibility that the total number of deaths during the
wars started in 2001 would reach the alarming figure of
3.1 million or more .</p>
<p>This report was published after U.S. President Donald
Trump announced the withdrawal of U.S. troops from
Syria.</p>
<p>The U.S., which has been a nation since 1776, has spent
about 93 percent of its existence (about 222 years)
fighting wars with different countries in the world.</p>
<p>Their most recent military operations have focused on
Iraq, Syria, Libya and Afghanistan, arguing that they
are trying to "liberate their people and restore
democracy," when in reality they have only helped to
worsen their situations and paved the way for terrorist
groups such as ISIS.</p>
