But it is just Russia. Vast parts of the former CCCP today are enjoying life without Russia.

Are you a mod?

Especially more prolific ones and condemning them consistently with it is just hypocritical.

Accusing the critical statement about country A of hypocrisy because what about critical statement about country B is textbook whataboutism. Your “yea, but country B is as bad as country A because …” is exactly that.

You don’t need to imply that country A is better than country B or vice versa, because the point of whataboutism is to relativise the criticism by pointing to another. This article is about China and their actions, your contribution to the discussion was to immediately steer it to “the Americans” - why’s that?

literally said it was wrong for the US and China. It’s the opposite of whataboutism.

From the definition of whataboutism linked above, my italics:

the act or practice of responding to an accusation of wrongdoing by claiming that an offense committed by another is similar or worse

You are doing exactly that.

A short victorious war against either Israel or the West, or even both, is a thing my fantasy isn’t strong enough to imagine.

Just what his country needs: more political-economical instability.
