It's funny. When you point something bad about Russia, the response is always "america does it too".

Do you people realize how weak that makes you look? Imagine if when america does something bad, the response was "Russia does it too". Do you realize why that scenario sounds ridiculous? Because Russia doesn't matter.

That was essentially the justification for the war crimes in Vietnam. Most recently I've seen it deployed in defence of cluster munitions[0] to be used in Ukraine. Your sarcastic reply entirely captures the issue.
