>Hard to see how the US can claim a moral high ground on anything

People now counter any claim like this with "that's whataboutism!". It's free reign to be be hypocritical I guess.



No. I'm no fan at all of the US regime and the atrocities it committed, but these atrocities aren't a free pass for other countries to commit war crimes and remain criticism-free.

The fact that Blackwater exists doesn't make Wagner any less evil. Whataboutism is using one to shut down conversations about the other.
