    And I was assured that the Russian economy was doing great due to the increasing GDP and the sanctions weren’t affecting things.

    Perhaps reality lies somewhere between what the blowhards and propagandists are saying. And perhaps all of us who oppose the concept of nations attacking other nations, militarily or otherwise, should recognize the threat Russia poses and support Ukraine with more than merely half hearted weapons transfers.

        Try harder. Please find one comment from me where I’m not critical of Israel’s response to the Gaza situation.

          Fair. Disregard my comment.

      This is “whataboutism” and you should not do it.

        This is exactly as much whataboutism as the comment I replied to…if you ignore my second sentence.

          How was the comment you replied to whataboutism? Please, elaborate. I want to understand how you think.

            Upon consideration, it wasn’t so much whataboutism as it was hyperbole. Which was the entire point of my original comment.
