    No argument was actually made. I was the one making the argument, which was that Russia’s meddling is smaller and less damaging than Western meddling.

      Your response was to how “Russia meddles” as you put it yourself. And instead of making an argument, you say “so did the West”.

      Which is whataboutism, ad hominem and a red herring.

      You never put forward an actual argument in your comment starting with “Any Western reporting” Which I referred to earlier.

      I find it very hard to understand how you believe you are actually making a point here?

          The problem is with the argument made by the article, which is that we should care about Russian meddling and we should act, or support actions, to stop it.

          So, by your logic no one should care about anything any country does or does not do and global politics should become a mind your own business type affair?

          I would also guess that you might just try and argue about how some meddling (ie russian) is fine though, somehow.
