Given how the first reaction of Russia apologists, is so often whataboutism, so much so that the wikipedia article on whataboutism literally mentions it being part of the Russian psyche, anyone who's first reaction to an article on Russian war crimes, is "what about America?" is pathetic.

Oh, and I notice you doubled down, edited your comment above and decided to add some "What About Ukraine?" and accused people here of being hypocrites too. Didn't work the first time? Try it again.

Please understand. I'm not saying you're a Russian troll. People who inadvertently propagandize without realizing it are often called useful idiots. But I'm not calling you a useful idiot either. I don't think anyone would conceivably think your comment was useful.

Jesus christ dude I can practically smell the smugness through the screen. I get you you like to feel like you're oh so much smarter than other people, but maybe tone it down a bit?

Even though I fully expected this kind of knee-jerk reactionary given the community I'm posting on, I thought the responses wouldn't be full on redditor. But unfortunately I was wrong.

''... I fully expected this kind of knee-jerk reactionary given the community ...'' And you are talking about smugness ;-) Really, people mostly blame others for their own shortcomings and project them onto others. Talk about hipocrisy :-)

Calling out blatant hypocrisy isn't a shortcoming.

Not being able to accept valid criticism of the US' actions because of how kuchen you (rightfully) is a shirt coming.
