    … Because they were in international waters, not engaged in any combat activity, unarmed, and also the US hadn’t, and still hasn’t, actually declared war against them.

    And we, the US, made no effort to help the survivors, which is actually required by international law.

      I don’t think these make this a war crime but I’m not an expert, can you show me an article describing or explaining it as such. Like I’m not interested in whether it was right or moral (it wasn’t) but as far as I can tell it wasn’t a war crime.

        Ok.

        You’re wrong, by the way.

        And no, you don’t need an article, wikipedia should suffice.

        If you gave even half of a shit about this, and possess a brain that can write a high school book report, you could figure this out on your own.
