youre just catapulting all kinds of randomly misused phraseology on to the round table today huh? lol.

you 'project' traits from yourself on to people who dont possess them (like you project a movie on to a blank screen) .

if im a cheater and i accuse you of cheating even tho you never cheated...thats projection.

if i catch you cheating and call you a cheater...even tho im a cheater too...thats not projecting. thats an observation lol.

you admit russia is guilty of what we accuse them of. its just that 'we do it too'.

theres a term (thats actually correct lol) for what youre engaging in.

its whataboutism. im sure youve heard of it. the weaponization of 'both sides'.

the goal is to rationalize/normalize/minimize behavior by convincing people that 'they/everyone else does it too'. so the hypocrisy discredits/invalidates the accusation/criticism altogether/entirely.

your reply was a textbook example. you couldnt draw it up any better.

ironically enough it was popularized by russia/soviet union as a signature tactic to normalize their transgressions and atrocities.

and here we are...still going strong...
