    No, it’s not a war crime that I can find, however we can attribute harm caused to civilians through these actions, such as starvation due to supply lines cut off. So he did some vile shit, had a moment where he realized the error in his ways, then did everything in his power to make things better.

      Except there no evidence of starvation in Ba Sing Se. After all, there was so little impact that the citizens could be convinced that there was no war.

      As to supply lines, earth benders cannot be locked in by a siege. They can create tunnel networks with a literal wave of the hand.

      So you’re inventing crimes that didn’t exist.
