Pointing out hypocrisy is not whataboutism. Whataboutism is when you bring up a separate topic as a criticism to distract from the original topic. For example, if you make fun of my cooking and I bring up your drawing skills in response, that's whataboutism. If you suck at cooking and yet bring up me sucking at cooking, that's just pointing fingers and trying to paint that as a negative for someone else when you possess the same deficiency.
I'm sure the US military already has a list of its own operations. Where is the hypocrisy?
Imo whataboutism is not even a real thing.
That's just a dumb label made up for use against ussr it was just never intended to be used against US lol. But pointing out that ur opponent has ulterior motives is properly legal
True, and maybe I'm playing a losing game by arguing within that context, but I did want to point out that even under those conditions the "logical fallacy" doesn't fit.
