  1. While determining the exact number of civilians killed during 21 years of the U.S.-led so-called War on Terror is impossible given that the United States doesn't "do body counts" or, in many cases, adequately investigate who has been harmed by airstrikes and other attacks, the Costs of War Project at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs says 900,000 noncombatants have died. Other groups contend that number could be perhaps twice as high.

  2. Why does the US have the right to control cobalt mining in The Congo?

  3. China need only wait 10 years! Proven reserves are those reserves claimed to have a reasonable certainty (normally at least 90% confidence) of being recoverable under existing economic and political conditions, with existing technology. Industry specialists refer to this as "P90" (that is, having a 90% certainty of being produced). U.S. Energy Information Administration --- US proven oil reserves account for 2.1% of the world's total oil reserves US proven oil reserves 2019 --- 47,000,000,000 barrels (proven is currently acceptable notation) US proven oil reserves 2020 --- 38,600,000,000 barrels US proven oil reserves 2019-2020 --- decreased 8,400,000,000 barrels (-19%) US daily oil usage --- 20,000,000 barrels US annual oil usage --- 7,300,000,000 barrels YOU HAVE 5 YEARS OF OIL INDEPENDENCE? In 5 years the USA has NO MILITARY capability.

  9. 1) You use 20 million barrels a day / 7.3 Billion barrels a year 2) You produce 10 million barrels a day 3) Your proven reserves are 35 billion barrels The rest is maths a 10 year old in the UK could work out. a) How much oil must you import to meet your daily requirements? (By day, year and percentage.) b) How long will your proven reserves last without imports? (In Years) c) Are you oil independent? (Yes or No) Answers to most others questions can be derived from 1 - 3

  11. Foreign electoral interventions are attempts by governments, covertly or overtly, to influence elections in another country. Theoretical and empirical research on the effect of foreign electoral intervention had been characterized as weak overall as late as 2011; however, since then a number of such studies have been conducted. One study indicated that the country intervening in most foreign elections is the United States with 81 interventions, followed by Russia (including the former Soviet Union) with 36 interventions from 1946 to 2000—an average of once in every nine competitive elections.
