Trump Has Blood on His Hands
January 1, 2018
The number of US troops who died in war zones rose in 2017 for the first time in six years. “As of Dec. 28, at least 33 military personnel had been killed in war zones overseas compared to 26 last year, according to an analysis of casualty statements released by the Pentagon.” They died in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Niger, and Somalia.
I note also that “in 2017, US special forces have served in 143 countries, or nearly three quarters of the nations in the world.” U.S. foreign policy has not changed one iota under President Trump. It is still reckless, belligerent, meddling, interventionist, and evil.
