What really frustrates me about the unsubstantiated ‘Putin is controlling Trump’ rumor is that it is utterly oblivious to the decades that Washington has spent (sometimes even openly) jacking around with other countries. Imperial America gets to mess around with Guatemala, Cuba, Italy, Vietnam, El Salvador, Russia, Venezuela, Iraq, Haiti, & alibi, but Moscow possibly influencing a U.S. head of state directly is the unforgiveable sin? Really?
Whoawhoawhoawhataboutism
The frustrating part of Trump being krompromat to Russia is… the people drawing attention to it are oblivious to the foreign policy of the US for the last 100 years?!
That’s what your frustrated about lol?
Yes, something about a country (the US) terrorizing the world for decades and then allegedly being slightly on the receiving end of manipulation a little bit is not the world-ending unprecedented horror that imperialists make it out to be. Usually, your perspective requires believing that the US is a fundamentally reasonable “freedom” project that has some flaws, when in reality, it was founded on genocide, built with slavery, and has not changed much on that front since.
Let me try to put it in plain analogy now: It’s not “whataboutism” to point out that a guy who allegedly got punched is a guy who has been going around punching everyone they see on a daily basis for decades. Furthermore, if the primary source of information on the claim is the guy himself saying that someone punched him, you can understand being skeptical. If you can understand that, you can understand this.
Man, people like you come in here with the most smug attitudes like you know more than us. We actually used critical thinking to come to our conclusions and you just blindly believe what the government tells you, screaming whataboutism every time there’s a contradiction you don’t know how to resolve.
The whole Russiagate bullshit was nothing but projection. The US is and always has been interfering with other countries, always. Manipulating their elections is just the tip of the iceberg, but for you it’s just “whataboutism”.
It really is whataboutism, by definition though.
“Putin puppets Trump around like a Jeff Dunham prop”
“But WHAT ABOUT all the election interference the US has done in other countries”
And then saying No puppet, but if he was it doesn’t matter because the US has been interfering in other countries.
The foreign policy of the U.S. kills an enormous amount of people. Ignorance on the part of its population is complicity. The blue maga crowd shouldn’t accuse anyone of anything before attempting to stop their own country from committing atrocities worldwide, more so when it is that country that is promoting such accusations.
