Biden? I thought we were talking about Russia and the “mysterious” death of Putin’s most vocal and well-known critic who had already once been poisoned with novichok, which just so happens to cause convulsions and seizures. My sarcastic joke only pointed out that it’s obvious Russian authorities caused Navalny’s death right before Russia’s elections. But go ahead and pivot to Biden to defend your friends.

Classic whataboutist argument - a mainstay of Russian propaganda.

You are the one that did the lying and you don’t even address it. That is a mainstay of the Russians too according to you. You seem to know a lot about it.

I still blame the “white supremacists” for his case of SDS. More liberal Sudden Death Syndrome violence.

Classic whataboutist argument - a mainstay of Russian propaganda.

I agree that whataboutism is integral part of Russian thinking. It is similar to the Western charge of "hypocrisy," but subtly different. Hypocrisy is the concept that "YOU said something is wrong, then YOU did that something YOURSELF." The Whataboutist, on the other hand, uses it in defense: "*I* did something wrong, but YOU did that something YOURSELF." Russians find themselves more often in the position of defense rather than offense on moral questions.
