Je me souviens plus exactement la différence entre les trillions américains et européens : Parlent-ils ici de 5 600 milliards de dollars soit plus que le PIB du Japon (5 300 milliards de dollars) ?
The colossal cost of Washington’s unending wars
9 November 2017
Sixteen years of war in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Syria have drained $5.6 trillion from the United States economy, according to a new study entitled “Costs of War” released by the Watson Institute of International and Public Affairs at Brown University.
This staggering figure, which is more than triple the estimate offered by the Pentagon itself, factors in huge costs that the US military does not include when tallying up the bills for its wars. These include medical expenses for wounded and disabled veterans, war-related spending by the Department of Homeland Security, and the increased cost of borrowing money to pay for military operations.
