The Russians are the only ones who have previously launched 2 satellite to satellite weapons systems (Almaz and Polyus). They have militarized space. They are in a moral trough, and this whataboutism doesn't change anything.
Non space-based weapons are perfectly in keeping with international norms, but launching and/or testing ASATs and space-based weapons is not.
