No, what about is keeping quiet while your country does it but then scream "what about the russian savages".

First of all...not "my country".

Second...that's not how this conversation went. We're in a post that is talking about the Russia / Ukraine invasion. Calling it what it is, is not "whataboutism". It is directly addressing the topic at hand.

"Whataboutism", is trying to distract from that, with all the "US bad" misdirections. Yeah. We all know the US is bad. No one is disputing that. But Russia can't just dictate how Ukraine defends itself, especially when Russia is the one attacking them.

If someone was punching you in the face, and told you they'd only stop if you dropped your guard...would you?
