The United States is completely aware of the atrocities being committed and no amount of additional war crimes will change its position.

Its interests in the region that it views as necessary to maintaining its global hegemonic power are viewed as more important than any action by an allied actor even to the extent of what a decently large portion of its populace deems genocide.
