Okay che, remind me where I said the atrocities committed by the USA were totally cool? I'm just against wars of aggression and conquest. Take that as you will.

Calling whataboutism is a logical fallacy used to justify having a different set of standards for oneself and ones adversaries. It's not a serious argument. The west has positioned itself as having some sort of a high ground while doing the same and worse that it accuses Russia of doing. This isn't about vindicating anything, it's about having a consistent set of morals.
