It does mean that in the realm of logic.

But media, PR and politics don’t play by these rules. Mention two things together and the messages will go through.

A similar example would be Whataboutism, a logical fallacy, but it seems to work very well in politics.

While I understand your point about the optics of it, optics should play no role in determining whether somebody is guilty of war crimes. When optics are a primary factor, war crime laws are a tool the powerful use to punish the weak.

I have my issues with the ICC, but they are supposed to enforce international law impartially.
