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...

You sure are good at that game you just described.

I know this because the subject is corrupt and traitorous US citizens in government and you constantly post "what about Russia" BS.

Good of you to add an "LoL" when you admitted to and described your own diversionary tactics.
