      Well not because America gives so many opportunities to do it. They get by so many atrocities that would get any other country sanctioned to oblivion.

      • Overthrowing governments
      • Starting wars under false pretexts
      • Genocide for commercial purposes

      The list could go on. America is not the example of a saintly country it projects itself to be.

      This is not whataboutism, I am just saying he is just as much an asshole as any other world leader. I also believe just like any other leaders mentioned by me he too should be prosecuted if allegations are proven. This even after knowing that the other world leaders won’t be touched even after having a lot of proof against them.

        When did Biden as a president overthrow a government? Start a war under false presences? Committed genocide? If you don’t fucking notice, the post is about Biden and Modi, not Bush or Obama.

        Modi compared to Biden is a complete fucking asshole and a psycho. Modern Indian foreign politics compared to modern US foreign politics is fucking insane.

        When you have to bring up shit that has nothing to do with a current topic, its whataboutism.

          The post is about Modi and Biden but my comment was in response to a comment saying Modi is an asshole, not a top comment.

          I am merely pointing out he is no more an asshole than any of the other world leaders.

          Modern US foreign politics is selling arms to Saudi Arabia who has killed a US journalist and who is using those arms to massacre Yemenis.
