Why do they always do diminish struggle of people and nations outside of West? It's like they're always saying "nah everybody hurts, you're not going through anything special, let's talk about us instead".

Yeah I've never seen whataboutism about whataboutism, you truly are plumbing new depths of war crime denial.

I do not see war crime denial in their post. More like war crime acknowledgement. I think that it is you who is undermining the struggles of people attacked by US interests.
