Dick Cheney, influential vice president of the USA, has passed away at the age of 84. He played a significant role in American politics, including in the invasion of Iraq.

Dick Cheney, one of the most powerful vice presidents of the United States, has died at the age of 84, according to an announcement made by his family. Cheney had a remarkable political career, serving as a counselor at the White House, congressman, secretary of defense, and vice president during George W. Bush's administration. Despite having health issues, including three heart attacks, he became an influential figure in Republican politics, having a significant impact on foreign policy decisions, especially following the attacks of September 11, 2001.

Cheney was a fervent supporter of the Iraq invasion, relying on unfounded accusations regarding Saddam Hussein's ties to Al-Qaeda and weapons of mass destruction. This decision led to significant loss of human life and widespread violence in the region. After leaving office, Cheney continued to defend the controversial methods used in the war on terror, including torture. His image was often compared to that of Darth Vader, reflecting public perception of his hardline policies.
