It's not hypocrisy because the poster has never been the president of the United States, the person who authorizes military operations. I'm also going to go out on a limb an assume they haven't committed a war crime as soldier, commander, or any person who would be directly involved. Whataboutism: "the technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counteraccusation or raising a different issue" Hypocrisy: "the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense." You can't be a hypocrite for something another person, group, or country has done. Even if you are a member of that grouping*. Notice how the definition clearly states "one's own behavior". ----------------------------------------------- * I'm sure there's an exception here if you represent that group or control that group, like the CEO of a company or a spokesman. However just being a citizen of a country doesn't apply.* |
