"American sanctions from 1971 to 2021…murdered 38 million people"

“American sanctions from 1971 to 2021…murdered 38 million people.”

Not sure how I missed this one. Not the video, but the Lancet article. It had to be international news. Did the American media drop the ball on this one?

Maybe Trump was onto something, eh?

"There are a lot of killers. We've got a lot of killers. What do you think? Our country's so innocent?" - djt

"Speaking at an event at the University of Chicago Graham School, political scientist John Mearsheimer criticised US foreign policy and cited a report by The Lancet that says US sanctions have killed 38 million people worldwide."

I've condemned and complained about this for years.

Wow! I bet Donald J. Trump agrees. After all, "What do you think? Our country's so innocent?" - djt

So we place sanctions on nations for no reason?... shall we remove the Russian sanctions too?....

Dante You must not be in favor of the Russian sanctions... am I right?...

Not a very impressive Stat for Deep State .

I am quite sure they could increase that total if given the opportunity to fully respond .
They could better that figure just from Covid , let alone its Fake vaccines .

Remember that the synthetic virus came to China free of research charge from Fort Detrick via Chapel Hill thanks to your eminent traitors Obummer and Fauci .

Which ones? Do you know what they are?

btw, I've never been an advocate for sanctions. Just a bit of a difference between myself and some of those in charge. There are others who do not favor sanctions, but they tend to lose out

Calling the Administrative State the Deep State is so sophomoric -- even for you.

First off, It's written in a British medical journal. Try reading and comprehension, then

The Lancet is a weekly peer-reviewed general medical journal, founded in England in 1823.[1] It is one of the world's highest-impact academic journals and also one of the oldest medical journals still in publication.[2][3][4][5]

The journal publishes original research articles, review articles (divided into seminars and reviews), editorials, book reviews, correspondence, as well as news features and case reports. The Lancet has been owned by Elsevier since 1991, and its editor-in-chief since 1995 has been Richard Horton.[6] The journal has editorial offices in London, New York City, and Beijing
