Other countries don’t put their “war criminals” on trial either. I witnessed another country violate the Geneva Conventions. Politically it was pandemonium, when the city found out, there were riots. No one went to jail or put on trial. Statements were taken, the guy got off with a slap on the wrist by his own country and some cash moved between hands to smooth things out. My point is, the US isn’t something special here, they’re just more transparent about it and/or journalists get more clicks for talking about it.
