      Then why do people feel the need to defend Russia?

      Pointing out the defence of something unrelated isn’t Whataboutism

        You can’t see a post about the two-sidedness of US policy without invoking the Russians.

            even though everyone knows that’s not true

            Source: it is known

            There are relatively few comments in the thread talking about Russia at all, and calling the Euromaidan a US coup is not Russia apologism, it’s literally discussion about US+Ukraine.
