    You don’t understand whataboutism and can’t tell the difference between it and corroborating evidence.

    Whataboutism is when I say that the owner of the plant says there was an attempt at nuclear terrorism and you say Russia commits war crimes.

    Corroborating evidence is when I make a bold claim like the USA is engaging in nuclear brinkmanship and then provide historical evidence to support my claim.

    Do you see the difference or can you only hear “screeeeee I am a Russian apologist bot paid by the Kremlin”?

      Ukraine fights Russia. “But what about US nuclear brinkmanship in completely different places?”

      Would you BTW answer how many times one needs tp be invaded until one should be blindly trusted? I’m truly curious. You mentioned 3 times in 150 years. Is that more or less it?

        I don’t argue with fuck wits after I recognize them. Piss off with your intellectual dishonesty.

          There’s no need to argue. We can just check what the Ukrainian position is. As Ukraine has been invaded by Russia at least 3 times within the last 150 years, it means no proof is needed (by your logic).

          It’s unclear to me what happens if two countries have been invaded 3 times, but tell different stories. Do we believe the one that has been invaded more in that case?
