    You all need to stop claiming “whataboutism.” It is called a comparison, and if you supported it or not, it was a good comparison.

      I’m not y’all, I’m me. And no that was literally whataboutism.

      “[What about the fact that] US has invaded more countries than I care to find a list of.”

      Yeah what about it?

      I don’t support those invasions and them happening doesn’t justify the Russo-Ukrainian invasion. You chose to deflect and then bet about where the money was going, for some reason.

        Comparing isn’t “deflecting.” The fact that you also compared how you also didn’t support the US invasions to the Russia invasion kind of proves it was a fair and relevant comparison. YOU should consider calling some things "whataboutism"s is sometimes “deflecting”.
