    Yes, but whenever someone hints that an “eastern” country might not be the best, whataboutisms fly out everyone’s collective asses.

    If it’s okay to criticize one way, it should be okay to criticize (when appropriately applicable) the opposing way.

      You, and most of the comments here, are literally whatabouting out of your collective asses because you heard a hint of critism of western countries.

            “Our Glorious Eastern Soldiers”

            “Their heathen rapist genocidal evil brutish westoids”

            The message is good, the title is needlessly inflammatory, as if ANY major country has clean hands.

            Reading comprehension is clearly low in this thread.

              That is, indeed, you completely missing the irony. The exact opposite of “pointing it out”
