given night maybe maybe maybe just maybe it's time we start actually showing them a little bit more than kind words and camera time and a professional sporting event you know call me crazy but maybe maybe it's time to stop creating new better news given we can barely care for the ones that we already have and that starts with ending the seventeen year long generational boondoggle of blood the united states war on terror the cost of war project brown university's attempt to pull back the curtain on the real expenses of the u.s. war on terror not just the financial ones but the physical and emotional issues as well they just released a sobering report on casualties from the almost two decade long war right in the time for veterans day they found that somewhere between four hundred eighty thousand and over five hundred thousand people have been killed in the united states post nine eleven the wars in iraq afghanistan and pakistan and they go on to make the very sobering point that because of limits in reporting the numbers of

people killed in the u.s. post nine eleven wars are an undercount means it's actually less there's probably more than what they're actually predicting and that this tally does not include indirect deaths you know those deaths that occur from the consequences of living in or near a war zone like well starvation loss of electricity loss of heat loss of care you know proper health care. indirect best would also include the p.t.s.d. related suicides and bios that are veterans space here at home as well so my friends anough enough with the red white and blue feel good means the sports stadium jet plane fly overs and the cute little ribbons on our look tells enough of that let's give our veterans the gift that they truly fought for and deserve peace and no new concept now let's start watching films. were pretty. good like. this one. as you

try to pull out of it. like you that i got. with that we. would. be. rather bored watching the hawks i am to roll into and i'm tabitha while yet here we are it seems that every year. we we sit and think back to these great wars great world wars and i wonder how it must fail to believe we fought for freedom to finish freedoms and yet we're still fighting and really using freedoms are losing the things that we're fighting for and we're taking it away from people across a cross on the other side of the world you know that's the thing that i'll never

quite sunk into my head with these wars that we were sold that we my is that well we have to fight over there these veterans that come home are heroes because they're all fighting for freedom just they are treated like heroes by don't government i haven't seen freedom here at home or like you said about obscene freedoms taken away freedom of expression freedom of the press privacy freedom of search and seizure really i mean there is many many freedoms that we gave up in the name of. you know we're going to fight this evil except the evil never goes away and it's this ongoing fight and we're expected to just kind of live in this world where it's ok and so i mean you know you can say this many soldiers died but they they put themselves in that situation and you know people always say like well these deaths are righteous they're righteous deaths but to me there's nothing righteous about civilian casualties and that's the numbers the report states that between one hundred eighty seven thousand one hundred eighty two thousand two hundred seventy two and two hundred two thousand and two hundred thousand for five hundred seventy five civilians have been killed in iraq massive understatement i

think thirty eight thousand four hundred eighty in afghanistan and twenty three thousand and pakistan near crawford the author of the report titled human cost of the post nine eleven war asleep ality and the need for transparency said we may never know the total directed death toll in the u.s. war is for example tens of thousands of civilians may have died and retaking mosul and other cities from isis but their bodies have likely not been recovered and that's this is what happened in iraq what you had is you know this idea that it's only a half a million it's only a million but as you said there's these ancillary things that happen around the war you know most most women in iraq don't can't work since fair iraq war and less you know putting themselves at risk of human trafficking and many other things. you would do one tiny is saying i'm just like things are not there's nothing there are there's nothing that ever good that comes from war we've got to get off of this idea that somehow there's righteous wars there's no right just war i'm really just

war since world war two and even how we fought that war wasn't very righteous dropping atomic bombs on japan right you know so you can't you can't you can't say that that's all we did it wasn't right just when we were doing air raids and literally murder and millions of innocents in tokyo and destroying their whole thing for no good reason rather if the ideals of war is just strong civilians and destroying the civilian infrastructure and destroying civilian law. god that's literal it's no good for anybody because there's nobody and let's remember there are no heroes and morally victims those fighting the war the guys on the ground fighting the war they're victims the people the people fighting back they're victims of crime civilians caught in the way they are victims there is no heroes in war because everybody who comes home is. usually from and then there's the soldiers who don't come home and that is there is a part of peace in my heart that it means a lot it means more because there they thought they were doing the right thing you know they trusted their government they trusted their politicians and you have over

seven thousand united states soldiers and sailors have been killed in the post nine eleven wars with more than fifty three thousand u.s. soldiers and sailors officially listed as that you might as well triple and quadruple those numbers because we need to do better for the soldiers that get sent out there and we need to do better for them when they get home those numbers are google groups and twenty five to the congressional research service for the three hundred thousand troops u.s. just u.s. troops running toward what the civilians on the other fighters are all the world that they were fighting with the civilians called of course with just u.s. troops have suffered traumatic brain injuries three hundred thousand one very. dramatic images that i got a tweet from the president celebrities in distress yes the recent southern california wildfire crisis has everything corporate mainstream news could possibly dream of but lost in the pictures of burnt up million multimillion dollar mansions and celebrity tweets about five lost horses is the story of paradise california

a small farming and forestry town of over twenty thousand people which was quite literally burned to the ground in the fires rampage and los angeles here is r t america's natasha suite with more. islands and dry conditions are manifest seen some of the most devastating fires in california history statewide the death toll now stands at thirty one and hundreds are still unaccounted for. in northern california the one hundred ten thousand acre camp fire has wiped out most of a town called paradise authorities are now calling it the most destructive fire in state history the butte county sheriff has confirmed twenty nine bodies have been found and two hundred twenty eight people are still missing authorities are calling in a mobile d.n.a. lab to help identify victims much of what makes the city function is now gone and volunteer say residents are struggling to cope this is long term and we have to think that way so food is going to continue to run out so will supplies we keep

needing that we definitely need medical supplies and medical professionals a lot of our elderly are on oxygen and that's running out quickly burning since thursday the all the fire in southern california has claimed two lives burning more than ninety one thousand acres shutting down the one on one freeway the entire city of malibu calabasas parts of thousand oaks and of course hills faced mandatory evacuations strong santa ana winds returned to the area sunday fanning the fire across those neighborhoods and now those evacuations or lifted around ten am local time as the number of structures is expected to rise several celebrity mansions were destroyed by the wildfire including butlers and singer robin fics paramount ranch is that western town which is known as a landmark film and location since the one nine hundred twenty s. was burned to the ground but some experts say these fires are inevitable in california where the mediterranean ecosystem so we haven't had worried in almost six months so everything is dry and when you put it in

a dry very fast williams it's going to cure the fire very quickly it's very dangerous conditions and so that's why we've seen the tragedy we see in the over the last week only twenty percent containment on major schools in the area are closed for the week and as for the blaze burning up north fire officials say they don't expect full containment until november thirtieth in los angeles and sweets. our team. who. this is a truly tragic story that you see i mean you see the whole time home burned to the ground twenty some thousand people without and a live person town and a lot of people died just trying to get out you know that were stuck because there's only one road available for them to get out of this town and there's a lot that we also forget it's easy to get distracted by a home wow look at this multimillion dollar mansion that just burned to the ground or what's in a one of the bastard car dash ins tweeting about it for whatever you know it's easy

to get kind of lost in that because it's malibu and hollywood and l.a. but what people don't talk about are towns like paradise you know working class towns like in her collar town you know there's they don't talk about you know let's talk about the amount of people that ok let's say you know there's the movie star of the executive or wherever it was this big multimillion dollar malibu mansion will now guess what all the people who took care of his property have no job today right you know that could be a dozen people minimum you know i don't know if that size and people are like who cares about rich but i don't i care about the people work for rich folk because that's how they make a living right and it takes a dozen people tick to make one of those houses keep running when it's out you know and when you look at a town like paradise you're talking about people these people don't necessarily have the fire insurance they're not you know most of these celebrities are big time executives that lost houses in malibu or calabasas so were over their insurance stopped the was a zoo they're going to probably get a huge check probably worth more than their house to rebuild it right you know and

let's not forget about the heart you know a lot of these super rich folks out there who lose the house they usually have gotten some pretty priceless art in there that to me again is like well those things which should be in a museum shouldn't be in somebody's house and gone forever what happens is a lot of stuff looking at the numbers here i want to get out that there's a lot of numbers about like he said the median income in paradise was forty seven thousand dollars where the median. income in malibu is about one hundred sixteen which sounds like a poor person living making under sixteen employed men i mean look at these numbers employed more people in the town of paradise of malibu and most of what they're doing i mean look at what's in malibu you got information real estate whatever and on the other side you have agriculture or health care social assistance utilities what you usually see in rural is a world communities and this is another thing i want to say about these fires because there were again a number of celebrities and james woods is getting a lot of credit for like sort of putting aside party politics to help people help.

find her horses and here's here's where i have a problem and also as you mentioned there is a giraffe at a winery that every is really excited worried about you have celebrities sneaking in to check on the giraffe here's the thing about horses and drabs and animals and wildfires. you probably don't know what to do that's that's the truth you probably don't know what to do and most of the time there is a reason that something that the them animals not moved but the danger in tweeting out i need somebody to come save my horses is an innocent person getting in a truck and driving up into a fire and getting caught could trying to do something so i think that is one thing we have to remember is not to be so judgmental and not jump on the wrong thing there are good purpose purpose all right as we go to break court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered the facebook and whether it's your poll shows r t v dot com coming up are two murders scudding know who the friends were just an in-depth look at the hundredth anniversary of

armistice day. of world war one the two watchable. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is also a spearing dramatic development that only really exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful it's very critical. to sit down in.

that whole russia gate hoax that never got any traction this then no prob but it's great troll bait and i think trump is pleased that he increased seats in the senate and barking mad nancy pelosi hitting the russia gate hoax by the every single day which will drive ratings for rachel maddow but it will do nothing to help them win twenty. more than fifteen million people died as a result of world war one it began with the assassination of archduke franz ferdinand his pregnant wife on june twenty eighth one thousand nine hundred fourteen by a terrorist organization called the black hand the fear the assassination produced

played right into the hands of those looking to start a war so many european countries involved in world war one had sided defense treaties in the earth prior so when one of the nations declared war over the assassination it triggered all of the nations and various alliances to also declare war and what result it was a four year long war involving seventy million combatants and thirty two countries which is what the moniker the war of the nations are t. america's got me now hugh is brings us the story behind the end of world war one from the palace. far side in france. war does not start nor does it end in just one day and one hundred years ago and the palace behind me the treaty of versailles was signed with the hopes of ending one war and preventing another the treaty which was signed up five years after the assassination of austrian our six friends ferdinand required germany and our allies to take responsibility for the loss and damage done by the war it was president woodrow wilson's january one

thousand nine hundred fourteen point speech outlining ideas for conflict resolution and peace that later led to the treaty of versailles and contained a fission for the creation of a multi nation diplomatic group to avoid future bloodshed but upon the end of the war not all allied nations were in accord in one thousand nine hundred the senate rejected a peace treaty for the first time in its history and the us refused to join the league of nations dignitaries and leaders from almost all of the twenty seven countries who originally signed the treaty of versailles gathered again together this weekend in paris to celebrate the one hundred year anniversary of the sandy of the armistice which was the end of fighting on land sea and air peace was a concept the majority of them talked about in their speeches however it was their other words and their actions which gave us the impression of the exact opposite we won't protect europeans unless we decide to create

a real european army with russia that has shown that it could be a threat i want to build a real security dialogue it is a country that i respect and that is european but we need to have a europe that defends itself by itself and not depending only on the united states and in a more sovereign manner because i feel no alternative military forces are not a new idea president micron has simply revived it in europe as a large powerful economic unix. and obviously it seeks independence and sovereignty in terms of defense and security i see it as a positive process in terms of strengthening the multipolar world president mccrone of france has just suggested that europe build its own military in order to protect itself from the us china and russia very insulting but perhaps europe should first pay its fair share of nato which the us subsidizes greatly the risk is that we go back to relations based on strength only mechanisms based on incentives and

sanctions and a spiral of budding conflicts this is why i cannot accept an attack on multilateralism and multilateralism is required more than ever before the armistice and end of world war one came with the hopes of preventing peace and world order as a leader of the of the world gather in twenty eight thousand to commemorate and highlight a common need for peace we are reminded of the lessons of history and nine hundred eighteen a just like today power struggle of money homeland security and safety continue to be a threat between actors of being multi-polar world reporting from the palace of earth i study now here you are to. one of the lessons of world war one to the time when this fighting started no one realised the technology especially military technology had just beyond military tactics and so one of the reasons you

had fifteen millions and millions die there was that you know you had the introduction of the machine gun chemical warfare planes you know you had this mechanized military machine when most of the world was still kind of based more on line up and shoot each other you know the tactics had not caught up to where the technology was which that led to these massive amounts of casualties which to me when i look at the military today and see where we are technology wise but see where we. thinking i see a lot of the same kind of problems you know the were kind of in that stage of like oh war world war couldn't happen there all these marriages i mean couldn't happen but then boom once it does and you're suddenly talking about iraq and peoples and structure and using cyber warfare and things of that. you know that's where you get massive amounts of. when you study history or the future one of exit was say less soldiers were wars are better now because less soldiers die because of this

you know all of this equipment that we're using as you said like we have much more . powerful not necessarily accurate things we also have better medical training and better medical technology in the field which means less soldiers die but a lot more soldiers go back missing limbs and all these things so you get a little better in certain technology when it comes to war it just actually makes it worse. and that's one of the things about world war was. it was people hadn't seen tanks and an air raids and these things ever. and it was new and i think one of the things about world war one that's really important is what merkel pointed out multi-lateralism should not be something to frown at because multilateralism is the sort of thing that could have helped something like world war two which would have kept world war two from happening which would have kept a lot of the problems we still see today we're still arguing about who pays for

freakin nato. in reality what you have is the chance that here you had germany austria-hungary which were. on one side and france russia and great britain on the other and then you had all of these deals that they each had made that if we get into a war you'll back us up if we get in or you'll back us up the problem is all these things cross so this is why you need unilateralism you need to have everybody talking to each other this needs to not be. it doesn't matter about what america needs to be graded we can't be great if we're literally causing this huge kerfuffle everywhere we go can't be trusted to say only because we really are those countries like italy was supposed to go with i believe germany and even they didn't they were like. so that's what happened in nobody does what they say there. are many many different people as opposed to the good of the planet the good of the

people the good of the nation and it's not about just harping on america's battery thing like a lot of people i know like when i when i criticize my country that's the first thing they go why do you think america's. my country and what it's doing today because i want to be better and when you look at the modern era and you look at like who's causing the most problems in the world right now generally the us because we're over. over and over in countries like iraq where the one destabilizing the middle east we're the ones pushing people to the brink of world war through our military action stabilization whether it be economically or militarily and i don't want to see a world war three that's why it's important to look at armistice day and you look at one hundred years ago what led to those events so that you can look at the playing field today and say. i can learn from my history and i can say i don't want this to happen again and one of the big ones. when you look back to germany until

twenty. to pay back the bet from world war one thirty five billion dollars was assessed as payment for the damage that germany was ultimately assigned. wow that's a monstrous payoff in the bag that they paid it. took until twenty that's incredible . and then as we move into. later today what are they doing the leaders from around the world are descending on paris a century after one of the greatest peace agreements ever signed the difficulties of modern. as we discussed were on full display are to america. after much anticipation in france and around the world a us president donald trump and russian president vladimir putin only exchanged a handshake and a thumbs up from the russian head of state in the official ceremony at the arc de triomphe but in spite of all expectations and coverage the two did not hold

a separate meeting to avoid interfering with the day's events russian president vladimir putin told r.t. france exclusively they expect to meet on the sidelines at the g twenty summit later this year in argentina we will probably meet at the g twenty summit or later in any case we are ready for dialogue it is not us who are leaving the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty the americans plan to do this however we are both aimed at restoring dialogue now this is the first time the two leaders met since said their bilateral summit into light twenty eighteen in helsinki where the two discussed a wide range of issues including syria to the nordstrom to gas pipeline from russia to germany across the baltic sea and even include election meddling i.q. stations and the need to continue dialogue to improve relations now not much coming out of this meeting and given not many words were exchanged the media coverage has

been concentrated on the on hand gestures and films reporting from paris scott email hughes r.t. . so i'm around friday august fourth one nine hundred seventy two scientists were predicting an explosion of gases on the on the sun would cause major problems for humans here on earth will those explosions are often called burps by scientists studying them solar players the burke the sun did causing major problems in one nine hundred seventy two for the u.s. navy c two extreme weather events occurred first the sun expelled a series of solar flares the first set of them clearing the way up for a more intense blast the k. maxed the solar second solar flares cause rain. blackouts within minutes damage to solar panels on satellites an x. ray radiation emissions that stayed in the air for more than sixteen hours but the biggest impact happened underwater see the solar flares cause sea mines the u.s. navy had dropped in the coastal waters of north vietnam to explode some pilots

noted seeing upwards of two dozen exploding in just thirty seconds and a recently declassified u.s. military document show that the death needed mines part of operation pocket money number not in the dozens as previously reported but upwards of four thousand that's right four thousand mines of bombs were set of by the sun essentially burping and if you're wondering what the president nixon's reaction was to the ancyl accidental explosions he had the navy put even more in mines off the coast of north vietnam. clearly not clearly not much of a change just as a thumbs up i'm going to brag what i was just standing out from seventy to zero they all blew up remind the area most of our minds about domestic somebody like sitting there not knowing that it's a solar flare or not and i mean you look vietnam was already in

a pretty dire straits i was there with medicine without knowing that also just seeing the entire beach side explode when i got as our show for you today remember everyone in those world told you to love them so it's all you all i love you i am tyrone for a while and keep on watching those hawks never great day and night everybody. with the systems to sleep will fill. my milk or something and this is. world's going to say they support the business with the most into it because look. this is with. us now because i am.

ok see that like i'm doing that nobody else to look at the money on the funniest diplo it's most it's a small show such as the flute solos that. you do in your midst. it's hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi don't tell was still active and rich in the nineteen seventies crittle had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at ashwood

a german company develops a little mind a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy and it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything but. you know she said she's just cut short arms minix a little mind victims i have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that. not only want the money i want the revenge. but that that never never. oh. good. good.
