    Whataboutism” is a logical fallacy that presents a counter-accusation in lieu of the question being discussed. What you present here is a textbook definition. The topic is the US’s involvement in supplying Ukraine with a specific type of munition, and not the broader question of how the US allocates its money generally.

      Okay, so how does your whataboutism explain how the US military budget is several times larger than what it takes to end world hunger?

        They didn’t make a whataboutism. You did.

        Why isn’t Russia sending as much food and health aid as America does to impoverished countries? Why does Russia get a pass in your head?
