Are you excusing them for fighting enthusiatically alongside the Nazis in WW2?

    The Soviets invaded Poland in conjunction with the Nazis under the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, are you sure you want to go down that route now?

    A)Whataboutism:)

    B) Absolutely reddit brained and incorrect. The nazis invaded, the government collapsed, then the Soviets moved in from the east to evacuate civillians and secure defensive positions. This action saved 7 million people, as opposed to the Finnish participation in the Nazi seige of Leningrad which killed a million people. And that's not even getting into Finland's concentration camps.

    Now what kind of person would equivocate the two, I wonder?🤔

    You're misusing "whataboutism", you should drop that from your rotation.

    We're not limited to one point of discussion here, etc.

    Primus~ "He's a murderer, how dare he murder Bob!"

    Secundus~ "That's because Bob killed his entire family!"

    Primus~ "Whataboutism!"

    Secundus~ "You win the debate, I am wrong, I'm sorry."

    I know you've heard the term many times and are excited to join in... but don't.
