Also because Biden isn't a criminal.
This ruling only benefits criminal Presidents, which is what Trump was and may soon be again.
The US has committing war crimes on a regular basis, globally, practically since the word entered the vernacular.
Biden still hasn't closed Gitmo - a two decade running war crime - along with the rest of our torture prisons and black sites. He's blatantly violated international law via our looting of the Afghan Treasury, our terror bombing in Syria, Libya, Somalia, and Iraq, our mercenary kill squads sent into Mali, Yemen, Congo, Nigeria, and Haiti, and our illegal occupation from the the Philippines and Japan to Panama and Cuba.
And then there's Israel.
Biden's continued criminal misconduct dating back to the McKinley Administration. Its just within the scope of his office, so the SCOTUS thinks he's beyond prosecution.
When you don't know anything about foreign affairs, international law, what a war is, what an occupation is, then sure, everything looks like a war crime.
But there is actually definitions for these kinds of things. You might want to look into them so you won't continue to sound like a teenager.
Mass execution of civilians is always a war crime.
Again, not familiar enough with what a war is. It's not like a video game portrayal of war where the civilians are outlined with a different colour than the combatants. Sure it could be a little closer to that if all combatants wore uniforms, but sometimes one side in a war fights dirty and doesn't wear uniforms and actively tries to blend in with the civilians.
In any case in every war there are civilian causalities. Unlike video games there's no option to make the bullets only damage enemies. The reality is you have a bunch of scared teenagers firing live bullets that can kill they enemy, friendly soldiers, and civilians.
Never hear the phrase "war is hell"? You think people were just joshing you about that? Now that you see that war isn't how it's portrayed in movies and video games you need to call it something else so you can continue to think war is a fun thing?
