I don’t understand this comment.

It's a meme deployed whenever a westerner describes something their government does as bad by way of comparing it to 'those evil asiatics' as if it's natural to them but not to us

It's extremely racist in a way that most people don't even think about, so the meme is to needle them into understanding

I see. What I said did not come from a place of racism against Russians. I am aware that the USA and associated governments can be every bit as messed up, although in less obvious ways.

I think you need to read about the history of Mossad.

Israel has a long history of assassinating people abroad.

Also of stealing everything thats not nailed down. Their nuclear arsenal was built from Uranium stolen from US labs, and no one in the US government cares at all. They also spy on the US as strenuously as our actual enemies. Weird.

You realize the US spies even more than they do on their allies, right? The US can't say anything against Israel for that.
