Americans desperately, desperately need to feel some real fear on their own soil.

They think they're prepared or desensitized because every week theres a mass shooting. Some sickening machismo in there. But they have no idea what these other people really go through.

250 Kids get shot in a year in US schools and Libs live in terror, but with now awareness at all of what theyre doing to kids elsewhere.

I will keep reiterating the devastation they've bought upon iraq in the 90s cannot be understated. When I listened to the episode on blowback I had no idea that many children were affected.

Yeah. Radio War Nerd, whenever they discuss famines or AMerican style total war, emphasize that it's kids who starve first, kids who get sick first, and kids who survive severe malnutrition or illness often suffer serious developmental problems that result in lifelong harms and burdens. Shit's fucked. What the US and Israel are doing, and what the US did/is doing in Yemen, are calculated to massacre children and permanently injure the survivors.
