The entire city of Syracuse killed. The entire population of New York City displaced. That's what it would be like if Syria's war was happening in the United States, according to non-profit group If We Were Syrian.
In attempt to hammer home the horrific human cost of the Syrian civil war, If We Were Syrian calculated what it would be like if 160,000 people were killed and 9.3 million people evicted from their homes in the United States and the other six G7 countries. The results are horrifying:
If you wanted to make it proportional to the size of America's population, the figure would be even more staggering. Syria had a pre-war population of roughly 22 million; the equivalent to 160,000 dead Syrians percentage-wise would be 2.3 million dead Americans. That's about twice the number of Americans who died in the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam combined.
There's no end in sight in Syria. Meanwhile, the conflict in Iraq is merging with the war in Syria, as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) wages war on both nations' governments.
They better not bring that foolishness into Texas.
It’d look more like the Battle of Thermopylae than Syria. [chuckle]
If it was Syracuse and NYC it would be a good start. (Just kidding)
Isn’t Chicago having a civil war?
Ssshhhhh!
But we're not. People used to come here to get away from the BS of other countries and their government. Things are becoming less distinct with the globalist movement.
I listened to interviews from a Christian Doctor and a Christian Bishop from Syria on the radio a few weeks ago, and they both pleaded with U.S. not to help the rebels. They said not all parts of the world thrives in Western democracy, and that under other forms of government ( dictatorship I suppose), at least the Christians and Jews were secure.
Syria is not America...
And Syria is not an American territory...
We do not have to do better at anything in Syria.
Let them solve it themselves.
Oh and who are the warmongers of this ad?
Obama wants to help the “Syrian rebels” aka ISIS. If you control both sides in a war, you always win.
Yep....again let the them kill each other. Protect Israel.
I think what we should do is provide even more training and more money to the rebels fighting in Syria. And some of it will spill over to attacking our embassy in Baghdad. All to promote a grand muslim rule, um, I mean - to spread freedom throughout the middle east.
I think you’ve found the answer. It would look like Chicago! lol
Well, I’m sure the Syrians would send us some help.
We are seeing the fulfillment of prophecy - The burden of Damascus in Isaiah 17
Let the EU deal with it. No war for oil Blah Blah political drama.
Chi-Congo when 0bozo’s Civilian Defense Force cuts loose.
If it starts in Washington DC while the houses are in session, I’m fine with that.
PS - bet 0bozo’s CDF would be fighting amongst themselves to get the better weapons.
