War criminal under whose law?

Understand me. "Crime" is a social construct that is specific to whatever country you're in. What's considered a crime in the US isnt a crime in Saudi Arabia, and vice versa.

With that being said, Obama did what he had to do to keep Americans safe. At any given point in time, there are plans underway to attack this country; and the job of the President is to keep the country safe, and at times, that requires hard imperfect choices.

I'm an Obama apologist.

The Geneva conventions

think that the Geneva conventions apply to the US, breh.

They couldn't even get George Bush who actually WAS a "war criminal".

I wouldn't, because as an American, he's on my side, but if I was born and raised in one of the countries that bombs fell on, then of course I would consider him a war criminal.

 

[King]

Of course, but all (modern) presidents are war criminals so he isn't special in that regard

 

[Ducktales]

Every US president is a war criminal. Every single one. Regardless of whether a war was considered official or not, this country has always engaged in some sort of foreign terrorism

 

[shopthatwrecks]

shook the macho mans hand n then killed em..

 

[Freedman]

Yes but ony because China is showing you can do Imperialism with money instead of bombs otherwise I'd feel they doing what they have to do for our Country

 

[Voice of Reason]

Yes every president since bush is a war criminal

 

[Rembrandt]

Yeah, but it's a big club.

Anwar al-Awlaki - Wikipedia

This is still wild to me. Not saying his death wasn't justified, but he was the first u.s citizen killed by a drone, and without due process (which kinda makes sense considering he wasn't coming back and we probably wouldn't capture him)

But then we bombed his 16 year old son (who was born in America) two weeks later and then trump killed his 8 year old daughter.

That story is fukking nuts to me, honestly.

 

[Swahili P'Bitek]

That's the American government's foreign policy. Politicians are domestic commodities, they know next to nothing of foreign affairs, a goat could be elected for US president today and the foreign policy wouldn't change.

 

[MischievousMonkey]

Yes
