Original Note:
Russian propaganda frequently employs the 'whataboutism' and 'accusation in a mirror' tactics to justify its illegal wars of aggression and human rights abuses. These accusations often lack merit (e.g., Russia itself has devasted Syria with indiscriminate bombings). https://disinfo.detector.media/en/post/how-russian-propaganda-uses-whataboutism-tactics https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_you_are_lynching_Negroes https://www.hrw.org/news/2019/06/03/russia/syria-flurry-prohibited-weapons-attacks https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/07/21/syria-russia-double-tap-airstrikes-report-war-crimes/ https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4609679
