I noticed it was the anniversary of the Iraq War (march 20) So i decided to post this in remembrance of all dead. I'm not sure to mark as NSFW or not, or if this post belongs. I will understand removal

The US still holds about $100B in oil money it stole from Iraq.

But it actually stole way more, perhaps more than a trillion, which Iraq had to pay to private US contractors. The American taxpayers and soldiers got fleeced in that war, too.
