This is really good advice. All of the episodes are ace, but the Iraq seasons is directly relevant
What you will notice watching the show is that the way the united states does business and makes decisions is an order of magnitude more evil and fucked up than what they do on paper.
It’s honestly to the point for myself that I just assume if an American politician or military person says Thing We’re Doing is Noble, i assume it’s a lie with or without proof, it’s a safer bet than credulous belief.
The cuba season is good, and there’s plenty of blood boiling American meddling, but the seasons on Iraq, Afghanistan, and North Korea will turn anyone against this country
This show did it in one description for me, its haunting… The Amiriyah shelter bombing.
CW: gore.
At the time of the bombing, hundreds of Iraqi civilians, mostly women and children, were sheltering in the building; many were sleeping. More than 408 people were killed; reports on precise numbers vary, and the registration book was incinerated in the blast. People staying on the upper level were incinerated by heat while boiling water from the shelter’s water tank was responsible for the rest of the fatalities. Not all killed died immediately; black, incinerated handprints of some victims remained fused to the concrete ceiling of the shelter. Journalist John Simpson reported on the horrific sight of “bodies fused together so that they formed entire blocks of flesh” along with “a layer of melted human fat an inch deep lying on the surface of the water pumped in by the firemen”. The blast sent shrapnel into surrounding buildings, shattering glass windows and splintering their foundations.
