And they said we should just accept it on their credibility.

I had the occasion to look this up again, so I thought I should post it for more than the shitlib I got it for (so now it's also for the three of you sorting by new at this hour)

The U.S. claims to have information indicating that Russia is considering staging a "fabricated attack" by Ukrainian forces in order to justify an invasion of Ukraine

Remember when Russia then proceeded to invade Ukraine with no justification?

Oh right, that's still happening.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is directly relevant to OP. It is part of the quote I copied from the article.

This is in no way "whataboutism".

[-] flan@hexbear.net 50 points 1 year ago

I'm sorry we're talking about things the US does here. Russia does bad things too but that's not the topic of the discussion. smuglord

[-] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

Actually, Russian aggression against Ukraine is exactly the topic of discussion here.

This is the part where you all act like principal skinner after getting your ignorance put on blast for the whole thread

[-] zephyreks@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

It's whataboutism as per the generally accepted usage in the West.

For what it's worth, I agree with you that it isn't whataboutism, but the threshold for calling something "whatboutism" has dropped to a record low.

Whataboutism? What about deez nuts?
