14. I agree

A lot of what has been done in Gaza by Israel with US weapons is also happening in Iran by both US & Israel attacks though not sure which strike has done by which country but they are also attacking medical personnel which is a war crime but has been done a lot in the Israeli assault on Gaza.

My point is even though Bush lied and attacked Iraq under false pretenses they at-least pretended to follow international law as far as rules of engagement and combat specifically. In the book Directorate S by Steve Coll under the Obama administration a single hospital in Afghanistan was bombed which faced a lot of controversy but under these new ways wars are being fought starting with Israel and continuing with Trump & Hegseth I would call a lot of their military actions "evil" but they definitely violate international and humanitarian law. Very similar to Russia in the early stages of their invasion of Ukraine.
