You guys should do one on the top ten U.S. presidents that committed war crimes.

[Weeboslav]

I'm surprised that Hideki Tojo wasn't on the list. He was highest ranking Japanese official that was trialed and executed for crimes commited during Second Shino-Japanese war and WW2

[ashsmee]

A list of war criminals who haven’t faced charges should be done.

[Knownothingviewer]

-"saddam hussain war crimes lead to invasion of Iraq"
-so it was not because of oil and merika wanting that oil?
- no am pretty sure it was the war crimes thingie

[TheWarmachine]

Geneva Convention is just the Geneva Suggestion nowadays.

[xaxxbx]

Wow. It really says a lot about the Bosnian War when multiple people make this list and other conflicts have basically one person.

[BeatRoot]

I want to see 10 war criminals that escaped justice. Hope it will be accurate with a lot of western leaders

[emiebex]

Props to Rebecca for Pronouncing those names Perfectly.

[coletonmelson]

Do a list of war criminals that got away with it 👀👀

[AaronShenghao]

Humm I wonder why US or Soviets don't have someone on the list from several wars around 1970's and 2000's... Not having genocides doesn't mean the wars started there didn't ruining hundreds of thousands of people's lives.

[djangorheinhardt]

You should add the mass murderer Netanyahu to that list .What he is doing to the Gaza Palestinians is disgraceful and a stain on the activities of our UK politicians who have just stood back and let it happen .Absolute disgrace .

[emiebex]

Can't wait until Henry Kissinger makes this List.

[wantstobeasuperhero]

I really like how you don't give the lists that are about horrible people/events a number.

[TheWarmachine]

7:57 Ah yes back when Japan was a very mean neighbor during World War 2 and refuses to be held accountable to all Southeast Asian countries it occupied and ravaged everything.

[eifelitorn]

Milosevic was cleared of the charges in 2016 tho.

[Voucher]

Hermann Goering was also in the Red Baron's fighter squadron and became an ace during WW1 before joining the Nazi party.

[migrantson]

And somehow, every modern US president escapes accountability.

[philipjamesrojo]

Idk if the Yamashita treasure is real or fake? He hid tons of gold and treasures which were hidden in the Philippines. Up until now those treasures are not yet found even till this day.

[thefraudulentbrit]

I was surprised to see William calley, perpetrator of the my lai massacre wasn’t here, but then again, his “punishment” wasn’t exactly “fitting” for a mass murderer.
