Who is going to hold them accountable for it? War crimes are just words of no one can hold someone accountable for them and punish them accordingly. This war has been littered with crimes of all sorts.

Hell, how many countries with active warrants did Ben fly over to get to the Summit? Like 5? Trump has ushered in a new era of "Why does anybody do anything? Because they can." -style of it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission, it's even easier to ask for neither. Do what I want until someone stops me-type shit bc he's not smart enough to fathom there are more effective ways.

Silly to say Trump ushered this behavior in when leaders like Putin have been at the helm for decades.

It's not the same though, imo. Not that he's better, but with Putin you'll fall out of a window, he won't buy a billboard about it. Putin's about the objective and Trump doesn't even have a plan, he's just about the attention.
