Which I think they know, but I also think that is why they haven't been able to just finish things quickly.
Yeah for sure. But without UN approval, going scorched earth makes it all war crimes. Even hitting civilian targets like the bridge is considered a crime.
Right, stuff like that Russia and Israel don't care about.
Israel seem to have been given a free hand to do what they want. Pretty weird.
It's irrelevant to try the United States for war crimes because it's in a position of power that grants it broad impunity. Look at all the charges against Bush for his crimes in the Middle East, with hundreds of pieces of evidence, yet he wasn't tried simply because he was in a privileged position that prevented any other power from prosecuting him. The same applies to Obama, who authorized more military missions than Bush, as well as Trump. They all have dark records.
In conclusion, evidence and testimony are meaningless if the International Criminal Court doesn't have a police force willing to arrest high-profile American war criminals.
