Reply to comment by RTFops in Russia’s security service works to subvert Moldova’s pro-Western government, intelligence documents show by wobblyweasel

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".
