5. GC says they're protected unless used for direct military support and it is the only means to stop that support.

Also, bombing civilian power infrastructure for the purpose of terrorizing the population is a war crime.

Nuclear power sites can be destroyed/bombed but there are added rules about it due to the dangers in doing so.

If America cared about committing war crimes, it would not have tortured people under Bush and/or people would have been held accountable as evidence that it did give a fuck. No accountability, no fucks to give.

I can't see why Trump wouldn't get away with war crimes either. If you can torture people and get away with it, you can pretty much engage in any atrocity and get away with it.

Other countries can't stop Trump with rules, regulations or laws.

He'd have to respect said laws, to begin with - and the U.S. would have to be part of some sort of agreement that it actually adheres to and respects.

No simply pays lip service to, like CAT/GC, but actually respects and obeys.
