And Russia is to blame for he or anyone else being corrupt?

So, apply the same standards worldwide and rant about the US taking advantage of corrupt bastards running little African countries who sell what little their country has to US interests for way below what it's worth and take bribes from the US to fill their personal Swiss bank accounts. Yeah, evil US, buying what those bastards sell !!

I see a pattern to your thought process. It's:
Someone in the US is corrupt and treasonous !! LOOK, over there, it's a Russian they're selling to !!

LoL!

Whataboutism (also known as whataboutery) is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument, which is particularly associated with Soviet and Russian propaganda.

When criticisms were leveled at the Soviet Union, the Soviet response would be "What about..." followed by an event in the Western world...
