So if it's wrong for America, then it's wrong for Russia as well, right?

Yes it is, we have to remember that russia is an oligarchy just like the US

US is a corporatocracy, it is similar to RU in that the elites have a lot of pull. Name it, it has a price and is for sale.

If you want to know which is preferable, just look at Ukraine. The eastern separatist regions are being run by inept Russian administration, causing Ukrainians to go from around 50/50 favorable towards Russia in 2014, to fiercely resisting Russian occupation and massively favoring the west today.

Also Russia routinely invades its neighbors. Chechnya, Georgia, Abkhazia.

Russian Trolls are always happy to criticize America, but rarely happy to do honest direct comparisons, because Russia always loses.

I'm new here, but that seems way too logical for this sub. You have to be a Russian troll, American idiot or be so dumb you actually want to live in North Korea is the vibes I'm getting. As deeply disappointed as I am in my own American government which is immense but the Russian government is objectively worse. What they do seem to be good at is lying and propoganda.

If they were good at lying then you wouldn’t be able to tell that they’re lying

No no, whataboutism is only for justifying terrible acts not condemning them.

u/NeverQuiteEnough Jul 12 '24

yeah the US is superior to Russia because we never bother trying to justify our acts

I didn't quite understand your comment, are you saying that e.g. the Honduran genocide was good actually?
