Then why do people feel the need to defend Russia?

Pointing out the defence of something unrelated isn’t Whataboutism

You can't see a post about the two-sidedness of US policy without invoking the Russians.

Then it’s fine to call them out when they show up

You even have (or had if mods did anything) some loser saying the US overthrew Ukraine with a far-right coup even though everyone knows that’s not true

even though everyone knows that’s not true

Source: it is known

There are relatively few comments in the thread talking about Russia at all, and calling the Euromaidan a US coup is not Russia apologism, it's literally discussion about US+Ukraine.
