Obama war crimes bombings at least he worked with the State Department and DoD lawyers to come up with a legal theory and framework. It obviously blurred some boundaries. But it was qualitatively different from literally threatening genocide after consulting (as far as we can tell) nobody.
Oh sorry if I was unclear, I’m trying to say he’s not threatening to do war crimes, he already has will and will continue to do so if the States allow him, not that all politicians do x. He is certainly not the only one who would, just one of the worst recent examples we have to date.
