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.

Друзі, Ви всі запитуєте мою думку щодо цієї новини.
Я знайомий з розробниками більше року, тестував не раз їхній продукт і не раз писав про це. Напишу ще раз:
1. Наші земляки справді створили радіостанцію з нуля. Тобто це 100% наш український продукт.
2. Станція нішева, рівня взводів, груп.
3. Станція має необхідні військові атрибути. Шифрування, ППРЧ.
4. Про 100% невидимість для РЕР, та 100% надійний захист від РЕБ. Це, скажімо так, фантазії
🙂

5. На станцію дуже низька ціна. Це супер.
6. Творці понад рік б'ються всіма силами за свою радіостанцію. Щоб їх помітили, почули та підтримали на рівні держави.
7. Станція може працювати на нестандартних частотах. Там, де ворог нас "не чекає".
8. Автори її постійно модернізують. Відносно недавно в станціях з'явилася крута опція MESH , коли кожна станція є ретранслятором для інших станції.
Повторюся: це нішева станція, з навмисним невеликим радіусом роботи. Підходить для зв'язку груп БПЛА, груп розвідки, груп снайперів, для зв'язку всередині взводу. Маленька потужність = противник далеко не чує = акумулятор тримає 3 дні.
Звісно, я всіма силами ЗА те, що роблять наші хлопці!

 Сьогодні роковини нашої незламності, нашої боротьби, нашої сили. За цей рік ми продемонстрували всьому світу, хто такі українці — непокірні, сміливі, вільні. Весь цей рік ви, найкраще в світі інтернет військо, були з нами та боролись пліч о пліч. Підводимо підсумки цього вкрай складного для всіх нас року:
⚡
З 28 лютого 2022 до лав Інтернет військ України приєдналось понад 180 тисяч воїнів — найкращих людей, які щодня сумлінно виконували та продовжують виконувати завдання.
⚡
Ми з вами разом виконали 459 завдань: банили бізнеси, підписували петиції, привертали увагу міжнародної спільноти, отримували зброю та тримали інформаційний фронт.
⚡
Завдяки вашій роботі з рф вийшли або призупинили свій бізнес PayPal, McDonalds, Shell, Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, TOYOTA, Visa, Mastercard тощо. Вчора НАЗК внесло французьку корпорацію Auchan в перелік міжнародних спонсорів війни.
⚡
Ми привернули увагу й отримали підтримку світових зірок, серед яких Джаред Лето, Стівен Кінг, Нассім Талеб, Майкл Дуглас, Бенедикт Камбербетч,  Арнольд Шварценегер. Також Україну відвідали й політичні лідери: Жозеп Боррель, Борис Джонсон, Шарль Мішель, Джо Байден та інші.
⚡
МАГАТЕ запустили процес перевірки атомних електростанцій, а ряд урядів визнали росію державою-спонсоркою тероризму.
Ми з вами працювали під час повітряних тривог, масованих ракетних атак, блекаутів. Працювали, коли було нестерпно переживати нові трагедії. Працювали, коли раділи звільненню Херсона. Ви — надійний тил ЗСУ! Ми вдячні, що цей рік об'єднав найкращих людей навколо спільної мети — прискорення нашої перемоги. Дякуємо, що робите це кожного дня! Ви — неймовірні
😌
🙏🏻
Слава Україні!

На Западе уже ведутся внутренние дебаты о поставках Украине реактивных истребителей. Эти обсуждения инициированы украинскими официальными лицами при поддержке стран Балтии, пишет Politico.
Неназванный дипломат, принимающий участие в этих обсуждениях с военными странами НАТО, сообщил журналистам, что
в вопросе военной помощи Украине "следующим естественным шагом будут истребители".
Журналисты пишут, что
основную поддержку идее передать Киеву истребители оказывают балтийские страны-участницы НАТО
. В то же время наиболее крупные европейские страны, по данным Politico,
опасаются, что передача истребителей послужит причиной для "очередного витка эскалации"
, а потому выступают против такого шага.
По словам одного из дипломатов, с которым общались журналисты,
Вашингтон сообщил Киеву, что поставка самолетов "на данный момент невозможна"
.
"Там есть красная черта, но прошлым летом красной чертой были HIMARS, и она сдвинулась. Потом она была на танках и тоже смещается"
, – сказал дипломат.
Другой дипломат, представитель одной из европейских держав, подчеркнул, что
скорость поставок западного оружия в Украину увеличивается
, добавив, что
обсуждение передачи Киеву истребителей может состояться совсем скоро:
"Истребители сегодня совершенно немыслимы. Но мы можем обсудить это через две-три недели".
Тему поставок западных истребителей в Украину поднял министр иностранных дел Нидерландов Вопке Хекстра, заявивший в парламенте, что
правительство Нидерландов хотело бы поставить истребители F-16, если их запросит Киев.
"Мы открыты, у нас нет табу"
, – сказал он.
Европейские союзники Украины предвидят, что
конфликт с РФ может продлиться еще три-пять лет или дольше
, и есть опасения, что Запад близок к пределу того, что может быть предоставлено, не вызывая резкой реакции Москвы.
"Многие страны на Западе считают, что
если бы мы поставили Украине всю технику, которую они просили у нас на первом этапе войны, то была бы сильная российская реакция, в том числе ядерная
. Можно назвать это процессом привыкания (Путина)", – сказал дипломат.
Сейчас стратегия представляет собой медленную, но неуклонно возрастающую тенденцию поддержки Запада
, от противотанковых Javelin и переносных систем ПВО, таких как "Стингеры", до HIMARS, а в последнее время - ракет "земля-воздух" Patriot, танков и бронетехники.
Таким образом,
поставка самолетов является "лишь вопросом времени"
, предсказал тот же дипломат.
Примечательно, что
на фоне этих разговоров компания-производитель американских истребителей F-16 заявила о готовности поставлять самолеты в европейские страны
, которые будут реэкспортировать свои истребители в Украину. Представитель компании заявил, что
Lockheed Martin не принимает непосредственного участия в переговорах
, однако "собирается наращивать производство самолетов F-16 в Гринвилле (Южная Каролина), чтобы достичь того уровня, когда мы сможем достаточно эффективно поддерживать любые страны, которые решат осуществить передачу самолетов третьим сторонам, чтобы помочь в решении текущего конфликта".

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.

Міжнародне енергетичне агентство підтримало позицію США щодо ризиків для ринку нафтопродуктів від ударів українських БПЛА по російських НПЗ, — Bloomberg.
За даними видання, через українські удари російські НПЗ працюють на найнижчому рівні з травня 2023 року.
А мінуси будуть, треба ще,  бо мало. А то дуже  вигідно усілись,  зробити з нас буферну зону, де ми будемо стікати кровью роками, і рашка не зможе нікуди більше напасти, а вони будуть торгувати з нею.

В приватному секторі Бахмута було сьогодні два класних влучання по оркам, після чого їх штурмові дії на пару годин припинилися.
Почитав тут слова Зеленського, що ми з Бахмута не виходимо і чекаємо нове озброєння. Порадів, що будемо в цьому чудовому місті ще півтора місяці, а після війни взагалі подумую переїхати сюди жити. Така архітектура, а головне - така історія.

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.

ПОЛКОВНИК ВОЛОДИМИР ЛОГАЧОВ: «НАЙКРАЩІ УКРАЇНСЬКІ ЛЬОТЧИКИ ГИНУТЬ ЗА ШТУРВАЛАМИ РАДЯНСЬКИХ МІГІВ І СУШОК, ЧЕКАЮЧИ НА F-16»
===============================
Переговори з країнами-партнерами щодо передачі Україні літаків F-16 тривають уже не перший місяць… Досі можна почути обережну риторику про «не на часі», «передачу після перемоги»… Тим часом список пілотів, які першими мали пересісти на багатоцільовий винищувач четвертого покоління, доводиться постійно корегувати. Адже найкращі льотчики гинуть… На радянських літаках, що відстають по ТТХ та перебувають на межі своїх можливостей за фізичним зносом…

[User] В ходе общения с клиентами оказалось, что в России гугл-таблицы являются популярным средством автоматизации работы с данными. Поэтому быстро научили Топос с ними работать. Теперь без особых проблем в построении моделей можно использовать данные из этого источника. Что правда, как говорится Минздрав предупреждает, что злоупотребление работой с западными системами опасно для ваших данных. Рубильник могут отключить в любой момент. Хотя Гугл и извивается как может, но например, в средствах для разработчиков Россию они уже вырезали. Так что спрыгивайте, пока не поздно. Тот же Топос полностью заменит это средство автоматизации из недружественной страны.)

Поляки решили пойти по украинским граблям.
Будущий президент Польши Goloborodsky: На польском канале Polsat выходит польская версия сериала «Слуга народа» про разведенного учителя истории Игната.
Если Польшу готовят к безумной войне, то это самый лучший вариант: накачать картонную бездушную куклу рейтингом и сделать её президентом. И эта кукла сделает всё, что от неё потребуют.
