    Reporter: [REDACTED]
    Reason: Breaks rule 1

    Reporter, the first rule of Lemmy is you don’t make false reports against site admins’ posts.

      Rule 1… do they think it’s racist to be against NATO now lol. Probably including “anti-white” in their definition of bigotry.

      Almost entirely overlapping, especially since many of NATO’s ops are in Africa, when it’s focus is supposed to be limited to Europe.

    This is not what you asked, but the only resource that immediate comes to mind is countercurrents’ list of every invasion the US has carried out compiled in 2013: https://www.countercurrents.org/polya050713.htm

    I’m not sure if anyone’s compiled what you’re asking for. Of course the death toll of the US directly both contains events that pre-date NATO, and NATO contains countries other than the US.

    About 350 thousand according to this source whe you can find a list and a very conservative death count: https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202307/10/WS64ab6988a310bf8a75d6e3a2.html

    The most deadly NATO intervention is the Iraq war, in October 2006 the Lancet estimated the following:

    Three misattributed clusters were excluded from the final analysis; data from 1849 households that contained 12 801 individuals in 47 clusters was gathered. 1474 births and 629 deaths were reported during the observation period. Pre-invasion mortality rates were 5·5 per 1000 people per year (95% CI 4·3–7·1), compared with 13·3 per 1000 people per year (10·9–16·1) in the 40 months post-invasion. We estimate that as of July, 2006, there have been 654 965 (392 979–942 636) excess Iraqi deaths as a consequence of the war, which corresponds to 2·5% of the population in the study area. Of post-invasion deaths, 601 027 (426 369–793 663) were due to violence, the most common cause being gunfire

      Nice, the top link is a good list, although it feels like there are a lot of interventions are missing.

      I’ve also heard the estimates for total casualties of the US/NATO war on Iraq to be ~1M people, but that could be including other deaths related from the infrastructure collapse caused by the war.
