      Shouldn’t they charge themselves with genocide first?

      The US killed more than half a million civilians in the middle east in retaliation for 9/11

      Did everyone forget this? Or does it just not count when it’s the US that does it.

        Not every war crime is a genocide.

        But yeah, I think all the US presidents during my lifetime have committed war crimes, and they should all be held accountable.

        But indiscriminate killing of civilians isn’t a genocide even if it’s undeniably heinous
