    “Your evidence is overwhelming, so I will point out what I don’t like about one source, ignore all others, and then try to use whataboutism to further bury myself in this hole I’ve created .”

      “your evidence is overwhelming”

      I explicitly said that all your sources are “western-biased source reports that some government official of a bordering country cries at slight border tensions”. By that logic, Spain is a hugely militaristic, imperialist and expansionist regime:

      I wasn’t doing whataboutism, I was bringing real examples of militarism as opposed to literal news cuts of government officials crying at maps that you provided as “overwhelming evidence”.
