      Yeah, but the facts have never gotten in the way any other time the US wanted to go to war.

      I'm saying that officially stating that they were "mistaken" is gonna be used as political cover for de-escalation. If the state department was still planning on going forward with some kind of conflict/intervention they'd just keep the lies coming.

      The state dept lawyers still called it "crimes against humanity", so it's not like they're fully backing down. That said, if what China is doing constitutes a crime against humanity, then the US has at least three major government agencies that exist solely for the purpose of committing crimes against humanity.
