Officials in New Delhi say that an Iranian warship that was sunk by a U.S. submarine near Sri Lanka had participated in naval exercises hosted by India before heading out into international waters in the Indian Ocean on its way home.
Well Russia didn’t do it because they don’t have the “fuck you” power that the US has. Russia sucks and is a huge danger, but this is absolutely not the time to whataboutism about them. I really hope you’re being ironic, because otherwise it’s just providing cover for mass murder.
And whataboutisms do not help either case. They just muddy the water and derail the conversation. If you want to talk about Russia or China, the US fighting this awful war only helps other competing empires. Russia is more likely to carve further into Europe, China is more guaranteed to take Taiwan, and other countries will race towards nuclear deterrents even harder then they were. Many more people are dead and will die because of this path America has driven us into. It is horrific and America needs to be stopped to make everyone safer.
That’s not the way it comes across. It was just as annoying when people did the “what about American imperialism!” when Russia first invaded Ukraine. Timing matters

I mean… there can be two murderous ruthless sadistic powers on earth. Three even! I’ll let you choose the third.
Russia, USA, and Israel.
I was thinking of China, but I like yours better.
China is bad, but it’s it worse than the these to 3. I doubt it.
The west considers it worst since
It is bad because
I was thinking about how it treat minorities and their threats to Taiwan and how that would impact the global balance and economy.
I don’t care about their race, claimed economic system or government.
But Israel is a genocidal regime, so as of 2026 definitely worse. China has potential to do more damage, tho.

It’s not whataboutism, it’s condemning both and NOT letting the existence of other justify the actions of one.
