In 2001, the United States faced the tragic events of September 11, which led to a lasting impact on the nation. A quarter of a century later, former President Donald Trump continues to expand America's endless war on terror, targeting new groups and expanding the definition of terrorism. This ongoing war has resulted in the deaths, mutilations, and irradiation of millions of people, particularly in Afghanistan, Iraq, and beyond.
The CIA's torture at black sites and the illegal penal colony in Cuba are just a few examples of the terror unleashed in the name of fighting terrorism. Meanwhile, the US government has also instilled fear among its own citizens, leading to the unlawful killing of fishermen, kidnapping of foreign leaders, and renaming of bodies of water.
The post-9/11 world has become a place where the US government is justified in doing whatever it wants, regardless of international laws or ethical concerns.
