US sovereignty requires being able to perform war crimes with impunity. Surprise double-tap strikes on civilian boats in the Atlantic are an example of them.
If America stood for any of the principles it claims to, the servicemembers and their commanders who performed them would be held to account for them.
Or strikes on Iranian schools killing hundreds of kids, later blamed on AI.
Bombing a school in an air war is slightly different from hitting a boat with a missile and then after its immobilized, murdering all the survivors.
One can be blamed on fog of war, the other is straight up murder, and all involved need to be prosecuted as such.
I'll admit it's hard for me to debate which war crime is worse. I see your point, but I just can't fathom scores of dead children, even if it's negligence rather than purposeful.
