    Someone says: USA Bad (with proof)

    USApes: It must mean they think China and Russia are good.

    ¿Por Qué No Los Tres?

      It’s usually * Russia/China does something horrific *

      Normal People: Hey, this is pretty terrible.

      Tankies: IT’S NOT TERRIBLE BECAUSE WHAT USA DID IS MUCH WORSE.

      In 98% of my Encounter with Tankies, they are the one who try to steer the topic away from the horrible thing China/Russia has done and towards: LOOK USA BAD! Even if the USA has NOTHING to do with the topic at all. It’s like that’s their go-to argument. And of course: " Yeah, it’s not bad because the puppet States of China and/or Russia said it’s not bad. "

        They usually skip the morality and jump straight to the whataboutism. They know that the thing is bad and won’t argue that, but they will try to sweep it under the rug and change the narrative to US doing something bad too.

        At the end of the day they’re like kids in a playground justifying that they can do something bad because someone else did it too.

        Oh and I can tell that someone will misinterpret my comment and think I’m downplaying the sh*t that the US did
