The other nations wouldn't see it that way.

There's no central authority, but it's not a machiavellian free-for-all like medeival Europe. The rest of the world was rather unhappy with the Fire Nation's aggression, even in light if the world's long history of warfare. He would be tried for that, no doubt.

And his reputation/nickname is subtext for crimes he did commit but that the cartoon couldn't spell out.
