You are an expert in the whataboutism manipulation technique. Whataboutism: Deflects criticism by pointing out alleged hypocrisy instead of addressing the issue. List phrases that provide evidence of whataboutism in the given sentence if they are present. Given the evidence, make a judgement whether the sentence contains the whataboutism manipulation.
To improve the classification of statements above as "Whataboutism" or not, it's crucial to streamline the defining characteristics you’ve identified while also refining your understanding through false positive and false negative examples. Here are specific classification guidelines that address the second person.

### Guidelines for Classification:

1. **Identify the Core Argument**:
   - Focus on understanding the central issue being discussed. If the statement shifts away from this issue to allegations of hypocrisy or unrelated subjects, it may indicate Whataboutism.

2. **Check for Direct Relevance**:
   - Assess whether the statement directly addresses the initial criticism or topic. If it invokes unrelated acts of wrongdoing by another party in an attempt to deflect attention, classify it as Whataboutism.

3. **Look for Relational Dynamics**:
   - Determine if the statement attempts to compare two entities (or events) in a way that does not aid the discussion but rather distracts from it. Contrast the original subject with an unrelated attack or comparison.

4. **Watch for Deflections**:
   - Identify phrases that explicitly seek to deflect attention away from the core criticism. Common phrases indicating Whataboutism might include:
     - "But what about..."
     - "You say this, but..."
     - "You're just as bad because..."

5. **Examine Emotional Intensity**:
   - Strong emotional language or aggressive assertions that aim to shift blame rather than contribute to constructive dialogue can be indicators of Whataboutism.

6. **False Positive Reduction**:
   - Statements can mention unrelated criticisms or events without being Whataboutism if they serve to illuminate a legitimate systemic problem or context. Ensure you analyze the intent and relevance of these comments rather than categorically denying any comparative observations.

7. **False Negative Prevention**:
   - Be cautious when statements appear to just highlight similar issues, as they can still be Whataboutism if they are meant to negate the initial criticism without engaging with it.

8. **Context Matters**:
   - Evaluate the context in which the statement is made. A statement that may seem like Whataboutism could be relevant if presented in a context that sheds light on a systematic failing or hypocrisy, especially if it enriches the argumentative space.

### Example Application:

- **False Positive Example**:
   - "Почему вы не говорите о других нарушениях?"
     - This could be a false positive if it is merely inquiring about broader issues but does not dismiss the initial point.

- **False Negative Example**:
   - "А как же ситуация в Буче?"
     - This should be marked as Whataboutism if it is invoked to deflect a point being made about unrelated issues.

### Conclusion:

Utilize the above guidelines to refine your classifier's accuracy. It’s crucial to recognize the nuances in speech and the intention behind statements, as well as their relational context to the initial criticism, to ensure accurate classification of Whataboutism. Regular reviews and adjustments based on newly encountered data will also enhance the performance of your classifier.

Именно ваша кровь может спасти кому-нибудь жизнь: общественники начали год с донорства
Сегодня мы сдали кровь для раненых бойцов и мирных граждан, пострадавших от обстрелов ВФУ. С каждым разом в
акции ОД «ДР»
 «
Сдай кровь – спаси жизни
» стараются принять участие как можно больше людей.

Я тоже не смог остаться в стороне. Если хотите поучаствовать, но имеются сомнения, не сомневайтесь, обязательно становитесь донором, потому что ваша кровь может спасти кому-нибудь жизнь
», – рассказал заместитель секретаря Донецкого регионального отделения Партии «Единая Россия»
Евгений Маслов

Сегодня потребность в донорах стоит особенно остро. «
Учитывая нашу ситуацию с продолжающимися боевыми действиями, кровь является незаменимым средством при оказании помощи раненым, пострадавшим и больным
», – комментирует заместитель главного врача Республиканского центра крови Валентина Трубицына.
Ещё одна общественница – Ирина Байдацкая – сдаёт кровь с 17 лет. К донорству её приучил отец.

Україна незабаром застосує далекобійні дрони, які можуть атакувати Урал та Заполяр'я
, – BILD.
Днями ЗСУ вперше атакували дронами цілі у Татарстані. Вони знаходилися за 1300 км від лінії фронту. Для одного із ударів використовувався український дрон UJ-22. Раніше вважалося, що його далекобійність складає 800 км. Очевидно, нова модифікація з додатковими паливними баками літає набагато далі.
За інформацією BILD, вже цього року Україна зможе застосовувати БпЛА з далекобійністю до 2000 км і більше. Також повідомляється, що до кінця року відразу 10 виробників поставлять ЗСУ дрони з далекобійністю до 2500 км. А київське КБ «Промінь» розробило безпілотник «Сокіл-3000», який може пролетіти до 3300 км.
За розрахунками BILD, нова українська зброя зможе атакувати цілі, наприклад, у Мурманській області. Там розташовано близько 80 військових баз. Серед них аеродром Оленья, де базуються стратегічні бомбардувальники, які обстрілюють Україну

You are an expert in the whataboutism manipulation technique. Whataboutism: Deflects criticism by pointing out alleged hypocrisy instead of addressing the issue. List phrases that provide evidence of whataboutism in the given sentence if they are present. Given the evidence, make a judgement whether the sentence contains the whataboutism manipulation.
To improve the classification of statements above as "Whataboutism" or not, it's crucial to streamline the defining characteristics you’ve identified while also refining your understanding through false positive and false negative examples. Here are specific classification guidelines that address the second person.

### Guidelines for Classification:

1. **Identify the Core Argument**:
   - Focus on understanding the central issue being discussed. If the statement shifts away from this issue to allegations of hypocrisy or unrelated subjects, it may indicate Whataboutism.

2. **Check for Direct Relevance**:
   - Assess whether the statement directly addresses the initial criticism or topic. If it invokes unrelated acts of wrongdoing by another party in an attempt to deflect attention, classify it as Whataboutism.

3. **Look for Relational Dynamics**:
   - Determine if the statement attempts to compare two entities (or events) in a way that does not aid the discussion but rather distracts from it. Contrast the original subject with an unrelated attack or comparison.

4. **Watch for Deflections**:
   - Identify phrases that explicitly seek to deflect attention away from the core criticism. Common phrases indicating Whataboutism might include:
     - "But what about..."
     - "You say this, but..."
     - "You're just as bad because..."

5. **Examine Emotional Intensity**:
   - Strong emotional language or aggressive assertions that aim to shift blame rather than contribute to constructive dialogue can be indicators of Whataboutism.

6. **False Positive Reduction**:
   - Statements can mention unrelated criticisms or events without being Whataboutism if they serve to illuminate a legitimate systemic problem or context. Ensure you analyze the intent and relevance of these comments rather than categorically denying any comparative observations.

7. **False Negative Prevention**:
   - Be cautious when statements appear to just highlight similar issues, as they can still be Whataboutism if they are meant to negate the initial criticism without engaging with it.

8. **Context Matters**:
   - Evaluate the context in which the statement is made. A statement that may seem like Whataboutism could be relevant if presented in a context that sheds light on a systematic failing or hypocrisy, especially if it enriches the argumentative space.

### Example Application:

- **False Positive Example**:
   - "Почему вы не говорите о других нарушениях?"
     - This could be a false positive if it is merely inquiring about broader issues but does not dismiss the initial point.

- **False Negative Example**:
   - "А как же ситуация в Буче?"
     - This should be marked as Whataboutism if it is invoked to deflect a point being made about unrelated issues.

### Conclusion:

Utilize the above guidelines to refine your classifier's accuracy. It’s crucial to recognize the nuances in speech and the intention behind statements, as well as their relational context to the initial criticism, to ensure accurate classification of Whataboutism. Regular reviews and adjustments based on newly encountered data will also enhance the performance of your classifier.

Сонливость — яркий признак скрытой агрессии,
— психологи
Эксперты заявили, что если человек спит достаточное количество времени (8-10 часов), но к обеду снова хочет спать, ему нужно задуматься о том, не присутствует ли у него агрессивное состояние, которое он блокирует.
Дело в том, что
на блокировку и вытеснение сильных чувств, например,  агрессии, уходит огромное количество энергии.

Уважаемые судьи хозяйственной юрисдикции!
С интересом наблюдаем за нашими коллегами интересующимися невероятно интересной и богатой судьбой члена ВСП Оли Попиковой.
https://t.me/PodMantiyey/5270
Заинтересовались тоже.
С имуществом у неё и у нее родителей - "полный порядок"!
Всего много, очень много или просто как купить самое дорогое очень дёшево.
Но, у нас другое наблюдение.
Немного посмотрели на выполнение ею обязанностей которые вы же на неё и возложили как на члена ВСП.
Поняли, что погрузились в другую правовую реальность созданную самой же Олей для себя лично.
Посмотрели несколько заседаний палаты в которой она является членом (мы бы другой орган назвали, но стесняемся).
Посмотрели проекты её решений по нашим коллегам и конечные решения.
Какой-то гипертрофированно искаженный юридический нигилизм умноженный на субъективизм и возведенный в степень бесконечности.
Мы в связи с этим хотим задать вам вопрос - а НХ вы её вообще избрали в ВСП?
Вас не смущает позиция человека избранного по вашей квоте который "мочит" вашу же юрисдикцию?
Мы молчим о том, что она делает с общей юрисдикцией и админкой - там вообще апокалипсис.
Вы бы начинали делать какие-то оргвыводы по Олечке, иначе её тупизна и самомнение о себе вас же и погубит.
Мы же, наблюдая за всем этим, будем стараться максимально прозрачно и публично наполнять её жизнь яркими красками и эмоциями, поражденными её же самолюбием и самомнением.
😉

З легендарним танкістом Євгеном Межевікіним ми знайомі ще із 2015 року, коли я вручав йому звання Героя України. На фронті він із 2014 року, і 24 лютого теж зустрічав у пікселі, обороняючи Київ.
Скажу чесно – дуже скучив за ним. І знаю не лише його, а й усю його родину. Обійнятися, потиснути руку – це емоції, які для мене дуже цінні.
Євген Межевікін – справжня легенда у Збройних Силах, найкращий танкіст в Україні, справжній друг. І надзвичайно скромна людина. Допоки діло не доходить до знищення ворога – там він не соромиться. За плечима Євгена десятки успішних військових операцій, які визначали хід війни, починаючи із 2014 року. Він не один раз ризикував життям, рятував побратимів, а згодом навчив цілу когорту військових своїй справі. Наближає нашу перемогу і зараз – на Сході.
Наша зустріч з Євгеном Межевікіним для мене є доброю ознакою – бо поки такі військові на передовій, ми цю війну точно виграємо.

Глава дипломатии Евросоюза Боррель требует дать еще денег в «Европейский фонд мира» для покупки оружия для Киева:
«Жозеп Боррель призвел европейские правительства вложить больше средств в «Европейский фонд мира», который уже выделил около 4,6 млрд евро на военную помощь Украине. По его словам, в фонде заканчиваются деньги, а внешнеполитическая служба Евросоюза хочет быть уверена, что средств будет достаточно для обеспечения военной помощи как Украине, так и другим странам.
Фонд рассчитывался в рамках порядка 5,7 млрд евро на период 2021–27 годов. Однако большая часть средств из этого фонда уже была потрачена на закупку вооружения Украине».

You are an expert in the whataboutism manipulation technique. Whataboutism: Deflects criticism by pointing out alleged hypocrisy instead of addressing the issue. List phrases that provide evidence of whataboutism in the given sentence if they are present. Given the evidence, make a judgement whether the sentence contains the whataboutism manipulation.
To improve the classification of statements above as "Whataboutism" or not, it's crucial to streamline the defining characteristics you’ve identified while also refining your understanding through false positive and false negative examples. Here are specific classification guidelines that address the second person.

### Guidelines for Classification:

1. **Identify the Core Argument**:
   - Focus on understanding the central issue being discussed. If the statement shifts away from this issue to allegations of hypocrisy or unrelated subjects, it may indicate Whataboutism.

2. **Check for Direct Relevance**:
   - Assess whether the statement directly addresses the initial criticism or topic. If it invokes unrelated acts of wrongdoing by another party in an attempt to deflect attention, classify it as Whataboutism.

3. **Look for Relational Dynamics**:
   - Determine if the statement attempts to compare two entities (or events) in a way that does not aid the discussion but rather distracts from it. Contrast the original subject with an unrelated attack or comparison.

4. **Watch for Deflections**:
   - Identify phrases that explicitly seek to deflect attention away from the core criticism. Common phrases indicating Whataboutism might include:
     - "But what about..."
     - "You say this, but..."
     - "You're just as bad because..."

5. **Examine Emotional Intensity**:
   - Strong emotional language or aggressive assertions that aim to shift blame rather than contribute to constructive dialogue can be indicators of Whataboutism.

6. **False Positive Reduction**:
   - Statements can mention unrelated criticisms or events without being Whataboutism if they serve to illuminate a legitimate systemic problem or context. Ensure you analyze the intent and relevance of these comments rather than categorically denying any comparative observations.

7. **False Negative Prevention**:
   - Be cautious when statements appear to just highlight similar issues, as they can still be Whataboutism if they are meant to negate the initial criticism without engaging with it.

8. **Context Matters**:
   - Evaluate the context in which the statement is made. A statement that may seem like Whataboutism could be relevant if presented in a context that sheds light on a systematic failing or hypocrisy, especially if it enriches the argumentative space.

### Example Application:

- **False Positive Example**:
   - "Почему вы не говорите о других нарушениях?"
     - This could be a false positive if it is merely inquiring about broader issues but does not dismiss the initial point.

- **False Negative Example**:
   - "А как же ситуация в Буче?"
     - This should be marked as Whataboutism if it is invoked to deflect a point being made about unrelated issues.

### Conclusion:

Utilize the above guidelines to refine your classifier's accuracy. It’s crucial to recognize the nuances in speech and the intention behind statements, as well as their relational context to the initial criticism, to ensure accurate classification of Whataboutism. Regular reviews and adjustments based on newly encountered data will also enhance the performance of your classifier.

 переходят к обороне. Наступление уже все списали. Вот наступление россиян может быть куда чувствительнее, к нему стоит готовится.
Стоит задача у ВСУ, ситуативно, показательно добиться результатов до 19 сентября, чтобы Зе смог, это продать западным партнерам, как успех, выбив при этом дальнейшую поддержку.
Далее ВСУ переходят к обороне. Особенно на одесском направлении.

Рятувальники Кіровоградщини успішно використовують переобладнану ними ж техніку від європейських партнерів.
Перший загін успішно відпрацював в Миколаївській області на розмінуванні деокупованих територій. Також техніка працювала під час блекауту і на ліквідації надзвичайних подій.
12 машин переобладнали в максимально стислі терміни. Якби довелось закупляти нові, держава б витратила не менше 130 млн.грн.
Під час великої війни такі гроші є куди витрачати!
