> News shifts the viewpoint. HN calls that whataboutism.
Well, because what you are doing is by definition "whataboutism".
Yes, America is another evil for a lot of the world, including to my family, since by proxy America staged the military dictatorship in Brazil which disappeared a distant relative of mine (that I never met, since he disappeared way before I was born).
> What about unnecessarily starting an war with ukrine as proxy?
This is just regurgitation of Russian propaganda. Ukraine was invaded, twice, once in 2014, and a general invasion in 2022 starting a major war.
The USA didn't start it, Russia did, you're not only regurgitating Russian propaganda but also removing all the agency from Ukrainians who do not want to be dominated by Russia as they had been since the Soviet times.
Or do you also think Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia shouldn't have a say on who they align towards because they border Russia and were once part of the USSR? Or Poland? If you don't think so then there's absolutely no basis for this bullshit that the USA created this war.
Do you have any sources with proof that Euromaidan was staged by US and the EU?
That's not what I get from conversations with Ukrainian friends who were there protesting so please provide me proof they were manipulated by the US and EU to stage a coup against a government they didn't like (aka a Russian puppet).
As another EU member I can say as well that I'd prefer any US hegemony (financial, cultural, etc with all their negative effects) over the physical violence and authoritarian regime coming from the East.
> Problem is that, such regulations give ideas to other governments
That because Europe has always been the front runner when it's about advancing the human species and where the best ideas, sooner or later, always win.
