Yes but I'm not obligated to provide you one.
I'm not looking for a legal debate or sealioning or any other drawn out conversation about this topic.
Some things that are noteworthy are that the United States is violating its own laws as pointed out by Sanders, and the ICC just put out warrants for Netenyahu and Gallant, so whether or not we debate the particulars Biden is involved in those crimes
Breaking US law does not equal a war crime as OP suggested.
If you ever want to name an actual war crime, I'll get the notification.
Heyyyy there's that bullshit I was talking about.. Why don't you keep busy by writing an essay about how Putin's war is illegal but Biden's genocide is A-OK because it's just not from the champagne region of Russia.
I'll get the notification
I'll name the war crime, and you could too if you did a google search for it.
We’re bound by the geneva conventions, that we did sign, and the articles regarding complicity in genocide wre in the signed articles. So yes, it is US law.
"According to Article 1 of the Genocide Convention, the Contracting Parties, including the United States and Israel, must prevent and punish acts of genocide. Under Article III, those punishable acts include “Complicity in genocide,” such as by knowingly providing the deadly weapons used to carry it out. In 2007, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), in a case involving Bosnia and Serbia, established that the obligation to refrain from providing weapons or other assistance begins the moment a state becomes aware of the existence of a serious risk that genocide may be committed.
For the Biden administration, that moment came in January, when the ICJ found that there was a “plausible” risk of genocide being committed in Gaza against the Palestinian people by Israel."

Holy shit, a real answer and not just some snarky bullshit response!
Thanks for actually taking the time to engage. I'm not being disingenuous. OP just said their was a "pile of war crimes".
So is "the pile of war crimes" are all regarding the sale of weapons?
