Reply to comment by bertiebasit in Turkish air strikes destroy 89 Kurdish militant targets in Syria, Iraq, ministry says by john217
What is the question? Was their sovereignty violated in both cases? Who’s asking that question? Who is of the mind that nobody’s sovereignty was violated? Nobody. That’s why it’s obvious that your only goal is cheap whataboutism.

That is not a valid criticism or rounds to dismiss his argument. You are avoiding his distinction because it destroys your argument.
