    1. I know everyone is pointing out the legal definition of war crimes right now, and I hate to be a downer but: America has committed a very wide variety of war crimes over the years and never been held accountable. legality doesn't mean shit on its own.

    sometimes I feel like Americans believe that the ink and paper that make up a law magically stand up on their own and tackle the bad guys when they try and do crimes. powerful actors violate the law on a regular basis to no consequence. laws are meaningless without enforcement.

      this administration just pardoned a soldier standing trial for killing civilians for fucks sake. they're undoing consequences in the extremely rare cases where they are faced.
