US and NATO invasion of Libya

Libyan GDP shortfall in 2011-2015 was estimated at $216 billion.

The cost of the Libyan conflict will reach $1 trillion by 2025. 

US invasion of Syria

The city of Raqqa almost razed to the ground: 11,000 buildings completely destroyed,

nearly 80 percent of the city now uninhabitable.

Washington continues to hamper the restoration of Syria in every possible way.
