My latest @CostsOfWar research, out today, shows that the widespread myth in the US that the so-called "war on terror" is over could not be further from the truth.

BREAKING: Our updated counterterrorism map reveals that the post-9/11 wars are far from over. We’ve tracked operations in 78 countries under the Biden administration between 2021-2023. watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/pap… [THREAD]

Four major new @CostsOfWar research reports out today on the human and budgetary costs of the post-10/7 wars, two years in.
The Costs of War Project@CostsOfWar

BREAKING: The post-10/7 wars have killed or injured at least 236,505 people in Gaza alone. The U.S. has spent over $31 billion and counting in the wider region since Oct. 7, 2023, where millions have been displaced, according to new Costs of War research.

Nine months later, 232,000 indirect deaths does not seem like an unreasonable figure, but rather a conservative one. Counting war deaths is always tricky, but attempting to grasp the scale of the human costs of war is essential. [END]

I wrote a study on “indirect deaths” in the post-9/11 wars—those deaths that continue long after bombs are dropped. Here’s what my analysis brings to bear on analyzing the death toll in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023. [THREAD] watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/pap…

Costs of War’s @StephSavell on the new report: “This is not an arsenal of democracy — it’s an arsenal of profiteering. We should keep the enormous and growing power of the arms industry in mind as we assess the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S. and globally.” [10/12]

BREAKING: The reconciliation bill enacted recently pushes annual U.S. military spending beyond the $1 trillion mark—likely triggering a more than half-trillion-dollar transfer of wealth from taxpayers to military contractors. [THREAD] watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/pap…

“Israel’s military capacity is dependent on the high levels of military aid it has received from the United States for the last five decades," says @stephsavell. “That aid has ramped up over the last year allowing Israel to wage this war.”  theintercept.com/2025/06/17/ira…

The horrors of war and the joys of play through video games are seemingly incompatible. But their histories are inextricably linked. Our latest report looks at the militarization of video games. [THREAD] watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/pap…

Wait a minute, the US is making war plans in Yemen??!! This question is glaringly absent from most if not all the US news coverage of the Signal chat leak. This shock should be equally as important as the national security breach. The US is killing innocent people in Yemen.
