mUH wHataBoUTiSm. I'm shocked this user is from .ml
Shocked, I tell you.
How is this whataboutism? They only pointed out that the US has a long history of doing shitty things without being controlled by some foreign actor. It's perfectly plausible that Trump is doing shitty things because he thinks he will personally gain something out of it, without anyone pulling his strings. He just doesn't care if the rest of the country goes up in flames.
No he is dead on. The US has been shooting itself in the foot for decades in order to murder little brown kids.
The only way your argument makes any sense is if Russia ordered Biden to commit genocide and throw the election. The DNC decided to run a geriatric against Trump. They are no smarter or better than the Republicans.
I didn't want to believe it, but .world and Reddit powermod user overlap must be real high. They all are like a hivemind of "making fun of tankie" aka the liberal version of "woke"
More wHataBoUTiSm from another .ml account.
Again, just shocked. Tu quoque fallacy at its finest.
