Russia benefits by sowing doubt and mistrust between the western countries. The 'bots' were really quick to push that old Biden clip after the sabotage. It's the same old playbook again - divide and conquer.

Good thing they US never did anything shady like """discovering""" weapons of mass destruction, spying on allies, backing coups, &c. that surely would also sow doubt and mistrust....

They aren't justifying russian behavior by saying "you are worst" though. Your comment was pure speculation, so there is nothing to even justify. When we are speculating about motives or potential "suspects", it is absolutely relevant to the discussion to... talk about them?
So that's not what whataboutism is and it's ridiculous how much of an overused thought terminating cliché it has become.
