If you believe that Americans should've been better informed, then you surely agree the same applies to Russians at the current time, right? Why, then, focus attention on something from 20 years ago instead of the active, ongoing situation in Ukraine?

Whataboutism is a way of derailing a discussion with a seemingly related, but actually irrelevant, side point. Which is what you're doing.

Whine about whataboutism all you want - it's not going to stop me from pointing out your hypocritical double-standards.
