Sue them and you will find out. The courts will probably answer that question for you.
Medieval times you say. You mean those countries blossomed without western technology, trade and influence, whose population overcame their medieval mindset and transformed through an era of enlightenment into modern societies and then sadly got either invaded and bombed back in time or coup'ed by the US?
Which countries are on that list according to you?
Because the closer I look, the less I find.
This has got to be a joke. Not only did the US loose thousands and thousands of soldiers in their wars in the middle east, Europe and the US have population size and growth that would allow for MILLIONS to be lost without puting the existence of their nations at risk.
Again, you refuse to see the difference in between aiming to make an enemy surrender or to whipe them out. Worse, not even differentiate between hostiles and non hostiles, enemy and civilian.
I dont have to risk soldiers going into cities getting ambushed if I dont care about the city. I just firebomb this city until the very air is hot enough to melt flesh from bone, leaving no place to hide and no one alive. No survivors means no potential future enemy.
Or, if I'm a certified madman and really dont give a single fuck, I just bask the area in the warm glow of nuclear hellfire.
Possibly. But that is only if you compare terrorist attacks in the west to western military action in the middle eastern region. Which is a pretty arbitraty comparison with little significance.
As for the second indirect deaths, that is too undefined and too vague. I'm not really willing to concern myself with how many people have been killed by me not buying fair trade coffee beans.
Thats a bold theory. But the taliban predated the russian invasion of Afghanistan and they were fundamentalist islamists on the warpath and quite focused on guerilla warfare long before the cia got involved. Osama was a political activist turned terrorist at the time who protested the involvment of the us in the region. Do you expect that - in an alternate time line - he wouldnt have done the same of the russians had stationed forces in the region and expanded their influence in the region? No.
Would saudi arabia not have spread their wahabist version of islam with the power of their vast natural resources in that alternate timeline? Also no.
Because a) those fleeing civil war do not qualify as refugees under the law, they are internaly displaced citizens and b) people attemt to reach europe mostly for economic reasons. Thousands of migrants from africa try to come over the mediteranian on a daily basis, mostly they try to escape poverty and starvation caused by mismanagement and incompetence. There is nothing I owe these people.
