This is literally the stupidest thing I have heard all day. Let me sum up this idiotic comment.

1. Millions protested against all the invasions by various countries.

2. Because they protested, but were ignored they can't be against this one also?

No one is falling for your whataboutism. It is terrible when counties invade others regardless of who is doing the invasion.

Stop being such a terrible sock-puppet.



Glad you think it's stupid. At least you thought about it :)

Honestly if you want to think your country is whiter than white and the Russians, Iraqis, Taliban, Gaddafi, ISIS, Iranians or whoever are the big evil and you must do whatever it takes to support stopping them being part of the world then that's up to you. But i don't support that view and find it hypocritical. I don't believe in the Liberal Idealogy nor do i see any good in a US led global hegemony and at the same time i've no connection to the Rus people so for me it's very clear that I would struggle to fight for either side.

BTW you do also know that whataboutism goes both ways because you are literally doing exactly the same thing. Frankly whataboutism is utter nonsense to hid hypocrisy.


I never said that my country hasn't done bad things.

I have protested the Tories, and I have always voted against them because I know they are bad people.

I know that the majority of people in the UK have also voted against them and their policies. Your entire point is completely nonsensical.

Where on earth did I do "whataboutism"? You literally said that people cannot be against one invasion because someone else invaded, which they were probably against as well.
