They usually skip the morality and jump straight to the whataboutism. They know that the thing is bad and won’t argue that, but they will try to sweep it under the rug and change the narrative to US doing something bad too.

At the end of the day they’re like kids in a playground justifying that they can do something bad because someone else did it too.

Oh and I can tell that someone will misinterpret my comment and think I’m downplaying the sh*t that the US did
