Legal implications usually come after the events. Seems like a waste of time to ask everyone this questions when they already stated support, no need to gatekeep. Action over words.

The legal implications of genocide apply directly when asserted, not after the fact. Namely doing everything to prevent it.

Actions do speak louder than words. And blocking so called offensive weapons is one thing. But it is very weird that Bernie is so reluctant to call it what it is.
