I appreciate the point that all governments do deplorable things.
No government exists without the creation of dirty laundry. The bigger the country, the longer it's been a country, the more it's got.
That's fair.

It's devolving into whataboutism, though.

To the extent that you're trying to acknowledge human behavior and soften the accusatory language by tempering it with self-reflection, that's awesome!

To the extent you're using other transgressions to excuse a new one, that's not poggers, as the kids say.
