Whataboutism. Try sticking to the topic - The Russo-Ukrainian war in 2022, not the Iraq 2 invasion in 2003.

Also known as the tu quoque logical fallacy:

You avoided having to engage with criticism by turning it back on the accuser - you answered criticism with criticism.

This logical fallacy is also known as the appeal to hypocrisy. It is commonly employed as an effective red herring because it takes the heat off someone having to defend their argument, and instead shifts the focus back on to the person making the criticism.

Erik Zimerman is probably one of the best commentators on Twitter regarding what's actually going on in Ukraine:

He's a liar. According to the Geneva Convention, attacking any civilian building that is not a military objective due to it being occupied by enemy forces, is a war crime.

You Russian simps inadvertently provide evidence of war crimes while trying to justify the actions of Russian forces because you have no clue about the Rules of War:

  • Rules of War

    In situations of armed conflict I will abide by the rules of international humanitarian law as contained in the Geneva Conventions:

    I will fight only enemy combatants and attack only military objectives.

    I will employ methods of attack to achieve the military objective with the least amount of harm to civilian life and property.

    I will not attack or harm enemy personnel who surrender. I will disarm them and treat them as prisoners of war.

    I will not kill, torture or abuse prisoners of war.

    I will not alter weapons or ammunition for the deliberate purpose of increasing suffering.

    I will collect and care for the wounded, shipwrecked and sick, whether friend or foe.

    I will treat all civilians humanely.

    I will not tolerate or engage in rape or looting.

    I will respect all cultural objects and places of worship.

    I will respect all persons and objects bearing the Red Cross, Red Crescent and other recognised symbols of humanitarian agencies.

    I understand that disobeying these rules is a crime. It dishonours military personnel and their country, and makes them liable to punishment as war criminals. I will therefore report any violation of the rules to my superiors

I can give you my opinion on Iraq in the Iraqi thread, other than that I've never watched CNN , so don't have any opinions on their journalistic skills.
But I read enough of your bullshitt of attacking the sources instead of dealing with the issues at hand , you just made me dislike Russians little more ...

Once again, was the CNN and Newsweek report accurate or not? Nobody seems to want to answer that question.

Why don't you just say that Russian actions justify CNNs inflammatory reporting, as everyone seems to be indirectly suggesting, and we're done with it!?

The accuracy is not important while Russian forces are illegally in Ukraine killing Ukrainians.

There would no need for any reporting at all, inflammatory or otherwise, were Russia not illegally in Ukraine.

You mean the one which they were supposed to blow up the minute they come anywhere near it?

Ah, deflection again. Answer the question:

Any comments on Russia building artillery bases inside nuclear reactor complexes?

And you still haven't answered a simple question. Under what circumstances, do you feel, is disinformation of public justified?

Crikey, you point to the splinter in the West's eye but ignore the log in Russia's eye and still try to justify it?
