      His actions were some kind of crimes against humanity

      But we need a better term for being a war criminal without a war

        Good points. I would argue that the capitalists have been in an undisclosed war on the poor since it’s inception. His actions on USAID alone constitute a war crime (if the war was recognized and since we get to say and do whatever we want now, its a war, I said so).

          I mean, if the war is against the poor, then the victims in this case would be the enemy, so I’m not sure it’d be considered a war crime

          That being said, he is definitely guilty of some pretty grievous crimes against humanity, and the dismantling of USAID is a big one
