That doesn’t mean what you think it means.

Yes, it does.

And your comment is a perfect example of it.

So… I’m gonna fix you here hero so you don’t embarrass yourself in the future. It’s not because I’m not using the point to deflect from the failure of Russian logistics. We know it’s been bad since the start, what I did is called “yes and…” but you of course already knew that. It’s historical context for major powers struggling with basic logistics when an east victory turns into an extended quagmire.

So… like I said that word doesn’t mean what you think it means and rather than being unable to process new information this is where you say TIL and move on with your day.

Oh, I know. We all know.

And that's ok! I conveniently left a link in my first comment here that you can click on to learn about whataboutisms.

So, go ahead hErO and point your Speak 'N' Spell on over there and give learning a shot.

Dude… don’t get pissed. Just admit you didn’t know something and move on. JFC.

I will admit that I didn't realize that you would fight so hard to avoid trying to learn something. It's impressive. Not in a good way mind you, but impressive nonetheless.

You remind me of those old people on Facebook that will smugly post a meme that is talking shit about personality traits that they don't realize perfectly describe them.

Clam down there hero. It’s just historical context that Russia isn’t the First Nation to struggle with basic logistics when a quick victory turned into a quagmire. “Yes, and…” as it’s called.

Stop calling him " hero ". It's annoying and adds nothing to the argument.
