Wow...this is a major shock if you had been listening to our Progressive friends here or anywhere else.

Global Peace Index report: ‘World is less peaceful today than in 2008′

WASHINGTON, June 17 (UPI) — Although worldwide peace levels were stable this year, the division between countries enjoying peace and those afflicted by conflict has increased, according to a report.

The annual Global Peace Index report produced by the Institute for Economics and Peace measures the state of peace in 162 countries by using 23 indicators that gauge the absence of violence or the fear of violence.

“The world is less peaceful today than it was in 2008,” according to the report. “The indicators that have deteriorated the most are the number of refugees and [internally displaced persons], the number of deaths from internal conflict and the impact of terrorism.”

“Last year alone it is estimated that 20,000 people were killed in terrorist attacks up from an average of 2,000 a year only 10 years ago,” the report added.

The study found that there have only been two improved indicators: United Nations peacekeeping funding has increased and the number of deaths from external conflicts has fallen from 1,982 to 410 in the last eight years.

The total economic impact of violence in 2014 reached $14 trillion, which is about 13 percent of the global gross domestic product.

How many American soldiers were killed in the 8-years before Barrack Obama was elected President and how many have been killed since? That is all that matters.....

Fifty-five U.S. servicemen were killed in Afghanistan in 2014,bringing the total number of American fatalities in the 13-year war to 2,232,according to a CNSNews.com database.

Of those 2,232 deaths,1,663 –74.5 percent –occurred since President Obama took office on Jan. 20,2009. The deadliest years for U.S. personnel were 2010,when 495 were killed; 2011,when there were 404 casualties; and 2009 when the death toll was 306.

Those three years combined accounted for more than half,or 54 percent,of the total U.S. casualties in the war.

In 2014,42 fatalities (76.4 percent) were combat related,attributed to small arms fire,improvised explosive devices (IEDs),or rocket-propelled grenades.
