Well, I’m sorry, but I don’t see how two wrongs makes a right. This is some massive whataboutism. Both an embargo on Cuba and Russia bombing other countries are horrendous activities.
First and foremost, that was my comment.
Secondly, it still doesn’t make it okay. It’s not a real argument. If the US can pull this shit off, why can’t Russia or China.
I’m not excusing their actions, but just look at it from the perspective of someone from one of those countries.
They see the US invading countries, putting embargos on others, and a bunch of other crap. Why shouldn’t they do the same?
The invasion of Iraq was just as justified as the invasion of Ukraine. Same shit based on bullshit arguments. Yet somehow one is more acceptable than the other. I’d rather not have any of them. And I’m from Eastern Europe just for context :)
Well Russia is currently bombing a European country which I personally consider much worse than an embargo.

Sure, but the comment I was replying to made a direct comparison with Russia.
