He's not really saying "yeah but what about the USA's war crimes" he's saying "drat Russia has lowered themselves to USA war crime levels", the focus of the sentence is still Russia's war crimes

Don't trip yourselves up over a pretty tame and in the end fairly unfunny jokey observation that doesn't really deserve this much attention

Russia's war crimes,
Russia's war crimes,
They're real bad,
They're real bad!
"War crime" is redundant,
And the horrors are abundant,
War is sad.
War is sad...

Someone call up the Russian MOD and show them this please so they read it and have a change of heart and then immediately get the gently caress out of Ukraine.

Thanks in advance!

If you are wondering why this guy is a former ombudsman, he joked on camera to the face of a child that survived a boat accident where 14 of their friends died about whether they enjoyed swimming

The Polish Ambassador is one of my favorite artists, please don't hurt him

Is that really what happened though? Extremely lovely joke if so, since it echoes the endless both sides poo poo from the tankies. When you do what clearly seems to be a whataboutism, don't be surprised when people object even if it was only meant as a dumb throwaway joke.

Because the US is giving aid to Ukraine, it is instructive to remind them of past American faults to temper the Ukrainian desire for freedom from invasion and war crimes.

If the "US Bad" guys are also vocally supporting Russia getting the gently caress out of Ukraine and stopping their war crimes, then yes, they're welcome to post here

In fact you'll find most people in this thread are fully cognizant of the US having done bad things in the past, and bringing that up has no bearing on the US doing the morally correct thing now in 2022 and beyond, nor is it some tacit approval of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, because it's not binary

I think you'll find that's not the same thing as "Actually Russia is good/Ukraine must be purged because US bad" if you stop and think about it for a second

Yeh sending Ukraine weapons they've explicitly requested is exactly like when we sent troops over and try to take over everything to democratize nations 'for' them :psyduck:

We aren't the main character and cause of every world conflict - sometimes we're just the assholes picking the corpses clean for money, in this case by loving how much advertising this gives the MIC.

The entire right wing grift circuit is purestrain contrarianism, and anything Trump do = Good, anything Joe Biden do = Bad.

My parents watched Fox News religiously and their entire circle has a visceral hatred for Ukraine, still saying it's 'the most corrupt country in the world' and are extremely convinced Russia is winning this war effortlessly. The whole 'old enemy' bit isn't even a thought in their head. I'm pretty sure the loving right wing media straight up idolizes Russia at this point.

The right wing grift circuit loves Putin because he's the big strong daddy president making lots of money that they want running the USA in the same way. Trump is a shallow imitation because the level of graft and scamming putin does is orders of magnitude larger than trump could ever manage, and the graft under trump didn't he flow down as it... somewhat does, under putin.
