“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?
Russia doesn't get a pass on this matter, they're equally guilty but I'm hopeful after Putin's death the workers might rise to power again.
Certainly worked well last time. Lol
