"Whataboutism" isn't going win you any arguments.

- tokai 3y agoIn the slight case that you are arguing in good faith. What does US/Russia affairs have to do with Russia following the UN resolutions they sign themselves?
- thriftwy 3y agoUN resolutions as I imagine are in the form of "We all agreed it is a good idea if we collectively did the following". Then of course every side can just walk away from such memorandum once it becomes taxing without moral repercussions. Not sure about the US law but Russian law disallows coercion into contracts which overhelmingly favor one side taking advantage of the other one. There are mechanisms of coercion but they are not functioning as of now since any sanctions that US could place on Russia for dealing with NK it will place regardless. So to summarize, the sides agreed it would be great if they limited trade with NK. If one of the sides no longer thinks it's a great idea, that's it. If you still think it's an universally good idea, go nag China so it uses its influence on Russia, since their opinion Russia will take into account.

Ok, now remind me why Putin was describing Ukraine’s position on the Minsk agreements with the following: Нравится, не нравится—терпи моя красавица
- thriftwy 3y agoMuch better now when these agreements are abolished? Right?
- parineum 3y agoThis is the context to the current state of the relationship. Not every reference to history is whataboutism.
- junon 3y agoGiven this particular user's comment history, they are very clearly here to push pro-Russian, anti-American narrative, and only that.
