You're not wrong, you're just being very picky about where you interject your view here. The context here was (until you changed it) American politics. You're deliberately changing the context so you can trash one side of American politics as equivalent to the other. And you do that a lot. We can all see.
What you're doing isn't clever, it's transparent. You're just interjecting "both sides" arguments everytime you encounter folks in support of Democrats. Your history is public, fyi.
I can also assure you the nation you're residing in today has skeletons in their closet too. Wanna test that theory? It is admittedly irrelevant to the topic of US politics, yes, but you're the one making the comparison and you're the one trying to tell people not to support Democrats because they're just as bad as the Republicans. Nevermind being terrible shitty logic, let's back up: are you even American? You talk as if you're not. That's telling us something in and of itself isn't it?
I'm happy to drag this out with you, you'll only expose yourself more.
It means you're stretching far.
Before you stammer out more rhetorical bullshit that serves as a strawman, let's back up. My opinion on what crime means in the context here (and yours) don't matter. It's got a clear definition. In this case, we're talking about US federal laws and elected party members who break them.
The war crimes you're talking about apply to virtually every major leader in the world if you look to see who's on the other side of their money. That's largely just a function of political opinion.
Fact is the US isn't a party to the pertinent bits of the Geneva Convention, which is your best example of an authority capable of prosecuting "war crimes".
The hard historical reality is that "war crimes" are what the winning side says of the differing tactics of the losing side.
I'm not going to get sucked into a debate on the ethics and morals of geopolitics and the existence of warfare among the human species. That's a fools errand to try to achieve anonymously online.
Stretch farther, Armstrong.

Grain of salt, rather than skepticism.
No normal person can waste their time being truly skeptical of everything they see. The reality is we don't have to (nor often do we) believe everything we see in normal situations. So take everything you see online, on TV, from afar with a grain of salt. Don't put too much faith in it. Shit this is important even with actual real video footage, context can change everything. You get twenty seconds of a twenty minute video and you can make it say anything you want. Just cut the context to suit.
In situations where evidence counts, such as a court room, custody of that evidence is considered. Any old mp4 can't be provided to the court as evidence without it being thrown out by the other team. So there really, truly is hardly any concern whatsoever about generative AI in the courts.
And the other side of that coin is confirmation bias. I don't care how shitty the fake is, if you show a MAGA a video of Biden eating a baby that person will insist it's real. Against any evidence to the contrary, they'll argue its real and reality won't matter.
That's what's been meant by the "post truth world". It isn't a problem of establishing what is and isn't truth. The problem is that the truth doesn't matter anymore.
California here. They wont. People don't notice those kinds of things. The central valley in CA though is sinking and has been sinking since the 60s. For the same reasons.
People do see it all the time. But they're dumb.
The vast majority of MAGAs out there think Trump is against the wealthy "elite" because he keeps saying he is while associating every political opponent to that elite.
They are acting as if the wealthy elite are the enemy. They're just dumb.
Again, your history doesn't show you doing that, ever. Even if it did, this isn't defensible. You're just a troll. This right here is why I'm recommending everyone reading block you. And why I'm blocking you myself. You're just a contrarian and that serves exactly one side and one side only. We know that hand over fist.
Now you know that, you can't pretend you've never been told. If you honestly think you're being genuine and not just a disingenuous shit, then I implore you: Go look in the mirror and question yourself a bit about this interaction.
Bye.
