Russia's security service is working to subvert every pro-Western government.

This is their playbook. The Russian Federation is a terrorist state.

Moldova needs to get rid of its corrupt leaders. Romania needs to do that too. And the whole Europe.

And America overthrew 72 governments in the past 50 years.

What has that to do with Russia?

Oh you don't have anything to say to the topic aside from whataboutism.

People say this whataboutism isn't having any effect, but it does cause displays of shock and awe to ring a bit hollow.

It's insanely effective which is why it's used so often. Sadly

Lmao good segway ya clown.

The above comment mentioned that Russia is trying to subvert every pro-western government. I’m saying USA did that to 72 independent nations. How dense can one be?

And how does that relate to what Russia is doing?

Whatever the US does doesn't make russias actions ok. Or do you think the US doing that is right?

The whataboutism is a frail rebuttal. Just because you’re the biggest bully on the yard doesn’t make you morally just. America invaded a handful of countries with no pretence. They sunk USS Maine to start a war with Cuba.

Get of the high horse. I get it Reddit is a stronghold of left-leaning pseudo-intellectuals but you’re all cherry pick facts and put up horrible non-standing rebuttals.

How is this different from USA invading Iraq? Or Biden carpet bombing civilians for 70 days in a row in Czechoslovakia? Or the only nation to drop two nuclear bombs on civilian targets??

The invasions were not followed by people commenting what about Soviet invasion of Afghanistan? Funny how only one side feels the need to constantly flood the topics with "what about".

Ah yes, because Russia only invaded Ukraine and never interfered in any other country. Like China or the USA or many other countries. This is just one-sided whataboutism.

Still not as bad as Russia. They have controlled more governments in a shorter period of time and have had a much larger body count to reach their goals.

USA sunk USS Maine to invade Cuba? Your statement doesn’t take on account geopolitical differences.

South Korea (America) / North Korea (Soviet Russia)

West Germany (America) / East Germany (Soviet Russia)
