Job of US Marine corps was killing people: Iraq War veterans speak up

Many #Americans have forgotten about the atrocities committed by #US-led occupation forces in #Iraq since the invasion of 2003.

However, the repercussions of the #US war crimes and other serious violations of international law in #Iraq continue to be an unavoidable part of Iraqis' daily life.
@IntlCrimCourt en.mdn.tv/746Z
Trauma persists for most #Iraqis as 20% of people had had at least one murdered individual in their household as a result of the #US occupation of their country, as per a survey, conducted by Opinion Research Business (ORB).
@IntlCrimCourt
en.mdn.tv/746Z
The same survey revealed that more than one million #Iraqis were killed or displaced.

Meanwhile, many veterans recall the terrible atrocities they committed during the occupation of Iraq and the WMD lies that triggered it.
@IntlCrimCourt
en.mdn.tv/746Z
The #US invasion of #Iraq left at least 5 million Iraqi orphans, murdered over 1 million Iraqi, forced 4 to 5 million Iraqis to flee their homes, displaced ancient Iraqi minority groups, & destroyed much of Iraq's infrastructure & economy.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Friday that the International Criminal Court's decision to "arrest" Russian President Vladimir Putin & Russian Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights Maria Lvova-Belova was legally irrelevant to Russia.
"The decisions of the ICC have no significance for our country, including from a legal point of view," Zakharova wrote on Telegram while noting that Russia is not a party to the Rome Statute of the ICC and has no obligations under it.
