I don't think stating that is a comparison to Russia or giving them a pass. We're not Russia, everyone knows that. It was a statement that it's in our best interest to try to remain peaceful with them even if we don't agree, and not everyone agrees with the things we've done either.
Drive yourself crazy analyzing every goddamn word he says though.
I don't drive myself crazy or analyze every word Trump or any other politician says.
But, I do think you've gone a bit off the deep-end at times these days, sal.
It wouldn't matter if Trump or Clinton or Sponge Bob had responded to the question about respecting a Russian killer by bringing up that there are American killers too. That is a 'comparison', which means to note the similarities between two things.
Even if you think the statement is accurate, it's still a 'comparison' and you sound as fucking retarded trying to redefine that simple and neutral word as the people who tried to redefine 'ban' to make a case or argument.
I wasn't even talking to you, I was addressing BB and Aussie's comments that what he said somehow equated to him being an evil, dangerous dictator in standing with Russia. I did not get that at all from what he said.
But all you care about is nitpicking my use of the word 'compare'. It would be like if you said you gained 30 lbs and I said I gained 5 and it sucks, but we have to deal with it anyway. That doesn't mean I'm putting myself on par with you. But I guess by definition that would be comparing. I'm sorry I used the word incorrectly, Jesus Christ.
