Your selective attention betrays your actual position
And what would that be? I think i was pretty clear. I want russia to stay within their borders, for all I care they can oppress each other until the end of days. Though I would, unsurprisingly, not shed a tear if the country collapses. Same goes for the states.
I also already gave you a reason why I don't believe it a worthwhile use of my time to engage with this literal whataboutism on a serious level.
whataboutism is a crybully whine about being held to any kind of standard. It's a shield for you to act in bad faith and not be called on it. It lets you lie about Iraqis killing infants in respirators and act like a smug piece of shit denouncing people when they point out your side is bombing baby food factories. It proves that your words mean shit. You're nothing but a vulgar nationalist. Morals are for moral victories. And it's only ever time to talk about how evil the empire's enemies are.
