minus-squareBuffalox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoYour response was to how “Russia meddles” as you put it yourself. And instead of making an argument, you say “so did the West”. Which is whataboutism, ad hominem and a red herring. You never put forward an actual argument in your comment starting with “Any Western reporting” Which I referred to earlier. I find it very hard to understand how you believe you are actually making a point here?
