- busterarm 7y agoI wasn't arguing that, I was just calling out the parent for saying ISIS didn't use terrorism as a tactic. Nice whataboutism there though.
- opportune 7y agoHow is it whataboutism? Your criteria for being a country also apply to Saudi Arabia, which anybody would generally accept to be a country. If I say a square is any four sided object with equal sides, is a rhombus whataboutism?
- dkersten 7y ago> I was just calling out the parent for saying ISIS didn't use terrorism as a tactic. Where did they say this? I don't see anything about ISIS not using terrorism as a tactic, just that if you recognize ISIS as a state, you get called a terrorist sympathizer. Besides, plenty of countries use terrorist tactics when at war, unfortunately.
