    You’re talking about Russia right?

    Yeah, I’m talking about the US helping Russia 🙄 Pack away the whataboutisms, please.

    That’s usually their thing

    Also the thing of Israel in Palestine and Saudi Arabia in Yemen, both of which the US are providing cover and material aid for.

    there are no clean hands when it comes to history and geopolitics

    There are some much bloodier than others, though. Other countries sometimes doing bad things doesn’t excuse anything, least of all crimes against humanity and the facilitation thereof.

    everyone has a history of slaughter at some point

    First of all, that’s not true. Second of all, only a few countries have a PRESENT of genocide and other crimes against humanity.

    doesn’t mean we should excuse it

    First sensible thing you’ve said.

    but we should exercise critical thinking to understand the nuances in the contextual differences.

    Aaand there you go excusing it. Again. 🤦

    Social media, it brings us together, for better or worse.

    Wtf does that have to do with anything??
