Kuwait. Iraqi tank graveyard in the desert near Jahra.

The Gulf War, triggered on August 2, 1990, by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, cost more than $1 billion per day and led to thousands of deaths. Iraq's defeat by an alliance of 28 countries above all consolidated the power of the United States which, more than ever, is the sole global superpower. This conflict, which was political as much as economic, also brought into question the handling of information by the media, which in hindsight appeared to act as mouthpieces for the U.S. Armed Forces. At the beginning of the third millennium, armed conflicts are still widespread all over the planet. While wars between countries are relatively rare, civil wars cause enormous devastation. Some of these even become established in the long term as a form of policy, as in Angola or southern Sudan. They cause mass exoduses and produce millions of refugees, who languish in camps in the faint hope of returning home. In the year 2000 there were about 50 million displaced people in the world. More than 75 percent of these were women and children, who are particularly vulnerable to violence and exploitation. The refugees' problems are compounded by that of their own safety in host countries, which are often destabilized by an influx of unwanted foreigners, and which treat refugees with increasing hostility. The United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), faced with the problems of war, aims to improve our ability to contain conflicts which reduce the chances of sustainable development of the planet.

координаты, как понимаете.

Кувейт. Кладбище иракских танков в пустыне возле Яхры.

>The Gulf War, triggered on August 2, 1990, by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, cost more than $1 billion per day and led to thousands of deaths.

Война в Заливе, начатая 2 августа 1990 вторжением Ирака в Кувейт, стоила более миллиарда долларов в день и тысяч жизней.

дальнейший текст не имеет отношения к военной истории - констатация факта, что Штаты единственная сверхдержава и далее плач по миллионам беженцев из-за гражданских войн во всем мире.

Ничего интересного там не написано - "США - сила, СМИ - продажны, война - плохо и приводит к росту количетва беженцев."
