    As we all know, the US was a paragon of peace prior to february 2022, and was not famously selling weapons to literally anyone who wanted to do a genocide, in particular the Saudis

      That's whataboutism (and yes, that was a major source of demand for the Russian and Chinese arms industry).

        Erm.ackstually sweaty, you did a whataboutism by bringing up Russia when the picture references American arm sales.

        Therefore, ipso facto cogito ergo sum cum laude, I have no choice but to award you 4 pinocchio-evil out of 5.

        In the future please do try to be a little more intellectually rigorous, or I will have to report your account to the People's Posting Board for further auditing.

        How is it not whataboutism to bring up a separate leader/country when we’re discussing the US? Why do you wish to distract from the brutality of the global hegemon? By your own logic…
