You started this thread by saying it’s not barbarism and then started talking about America’s sins.
That has nothing to do with the topic at hand, they both are true, but you are specifically using whataboutism to shift from Russian barbarism. Why? Why is terrorism and missile striking not barbaric? Why is that unimportant and that instead you feel we must look towards America?
Why are you so quick to shift the topic from current Russian aggression against an innocent nation (the topic of the post) to the past of the West?
Since you need the help:
Whataboutism is a type of logical fallacy that occurs when a person attempts to divert the focus away from the current issue by making a counter-accusation
