Whataboutism is a form of the tu quoque fallacy where a double standard is used to dismiss criticisms of one’s own behavior in order to focus instead on the actions of another. People who cry whataboutism engage in empty and cynical deflection of responsibility. Anyone who unironically uses the word “whataboutism” is a pseudo intellectual.
If you can’t even comprehend how NATO expansion east directly resulted in the current situation, there really no point continuing this discussion.
I have heard enough about the reasons for the war. I asked for solutions. So far I haven’t heard any.
You must live a very sheltered life if you managed to avoid hearing any reasons up to now given that people have been talking about this since the fall of USSR. Here are a few examples for you.
Nobody is proving intellectualism to you here. What you’re being told is that your argument is a fallacy, and you’re using it to avoid discussing the core problem of NATO expansion.
You’re a deeply dishonest individual and there is no point continuing this discussion. I’ve explained the solution to you in this very thread, and linked multiple experts on geopolitics who explain how this problem can be avoided. Continuing to pretend that nobody knows how to avoid the problem that people have been explaining how to avoid for decades shows what sort of intellectual you really are.
I’ve repeatedly provided my opinions and possible solutions. I’ve also linked opinions of experts on the subject who support the kinds of solutions I outlined. You refused to discuss them and instead chose to screech about whataboutism. Now you’re complaining that I’m saying there’s no point in continuing discussion.
Once again, the solution is for the west to engage Russia as an equal and to come up with a security framework that both sides are comfortable with. This is what pretty much every western expert on the subject, from Chomsky to Mearsheimer advocates for.
It’s depressing to see that this is a hard concept for some people to wrap their heads around. Figures that a troll would waste other people’s time for a laugh though.
Diplomacy is not built on trust, it’s built on respect. The west made it clear that the only way to get respect is through force, and that’s what Russia is now using after decades of trying to use diplomacy and running into a wall. I did provide you solutions, as well as links to numerous experts explaining these solutions in details. The fact that you keep ignoring that tells me everything I need to know here.
And absolutely love how you’re now playing a victim here to avoid engaging in honest discussion. Thanks for the laugh bud. You’re a real class act.
