More than one thing can be wrong at the same time. The constant whataboutism is exhausting...

whataboutism is what hypocrites say when challenged.

The only thing exhausting is people using whataboutism to make false equivalents and avoid genuine discussion. People are subjected to orders of magnitude more US propaganda than Russian propaganda, and it clearly has a much greater effect on public opinion. Thanks to people being indoctrinated into US propaganda, they dismiss legitimate problems as fictional Russian propaganda. The fact that you can't comprehend this illustrates the problem perfectly.
