A bridge too far. Trump equates Putin to American killers

[Care4all]

Putin is not simply a 'killer', he is specifically and individually a MURDERER of his political opponents and journalists... through assassinating them....

 

[Care4all]

Most Americans don't wanna know the truth. The truth is, no other nation on earth invades more nations and kills more people than the United States does. Russia isn't even close. The US no longer possesses any moral high ground. It may have at one point, but it doesn't now. It has no right to preach to others.

but the question OReilly asked Trump was NOT about Russia or the Nation, it was specifically about Putin, and Trump tried and did, change the subject to Nation killing, to AVOID answering the question about Putin.

We, as a Nation have killed innocent people in our warring and coups and meddling etc, but in no way even close, are we the worst Nation in History of killing more innocent people than any other Nation since our inception....not even in the realm of close....

Putin indiscriminately kills in Syria & Ukraine. Putin has CLEARLY assassinated people in the past that opposed him.

There is NO comparison to modern day America.

Really....how about the trail of dead bodies the Clintons have left behind?

Sorry, but Russia isn't even close in comparison. We've been assassinating foreign leaders and installing Puppet regimes for many years. Russia does it too, but not on the level we do it. In fact, as we're both typing our posts, the US is bombing and killing people. And many of them are civilians.

We're a very violent nation. And that's what Trump was talking about. He wasn't saying Russia is a better country than the US. That's just a Fake News distortion. Unfortunately, the OP bought into the distortion. Trump loves his country. He was just stating honest reality.

A comparison to modern day America was never made. This is silly. Again, the media played this up, rallied its programmed zombies and the semantics and hair splitting began.
I heard this:
"There's lots of killers, we've got a lot of killers....What, do you think our county is so innocent?"
I can't believe I'm engaging in this waste of cyber space but where did he say we're exactly like Russia or that we kill like Putin or Russia?
The implication is clear to a sane mind. 'WE'RE NOT INNOCENT AND WE HAVE KILLERS HERE'....which is perfectly on point.
The mass schizophrenia caused by the Trump administration's choice of words has to stop and people have to de-pussify and learn to appreciate a leader who is direct and usually blunt. The sensitivity level among schizo's is quite entertaining and all but get a hold of yourselves people....DAMN!

I see this as more overplayed bullshit and nothing more.
Consider this:
Have people lost lives at the hands of our nations leaders directly or indirectly? Think early release of criminals who re-offend, think the open border policy and illegals who murder, think district leaders of dangerous shithole cities who refuse to get aggressive with criminals, think Hillary and Benghazi
Whether or not these so called leaders could be called "killers" is subjective. I'm not willing to engage in the semantics of that but don't be stupid....Trump was right on point with what he said and it's consistent with his hold nothing back style.

Putin IS A MURDERER of individual Russian opponents....he poisons them or irradiates them.

THAT is not the same as collateral damage in a warring situation.

President Trump's comment deserves admonishing....and was demeaning to our Nation....and his own Presidential position.

Trump wasn't asked about the Clintons or Obama. It is not relevant to what he was asked.

It's a shame so many on this board don't have enough integrity to call a spade a spade.

“Let’s be clear: Has the U.S. ever made any mistakes? Of course,” Sasse said. “Is the U.S. at all like Putin’s regime? Not at all.

When did Trump say we were? Libs can't even hear straight anymore. You dipsticks are just so desperate you'll jump on anything.

You are just in denial bud.
Why don't you listen to some of the republicans that came out blasting ( again) Trump?

Yes, saying we are just like Russia is just "overplayed". Whatever that means.

Gee last time I checked Obama wasn't ex KGB but he could and did kill at will. You know.
A good American killer.

Gotta say, it really is refreshing seeing a Politician tell the truth. Big props to Trump.

Oh bullshit. He didn't tell the truth, he obfuscated. The question had NOTHING TO DO WITH his answer.

I'm sure when Obama went around the world bloviating about America's past mistakes you called that refreshing honesty too?

GTFO with this bullshit

More diversion because you're too much of a coward to call out Trump for the same bullshit we blasted Obama for.

Postmodern America Has Lost Its Way and Shouldn't Lecture Others

The kleptocrats Putin killed were Mafia killers. He is the greatest Russian since Peter the Great, who was also a little rough along the edges. We accept that about leaders of the past; Putin's understanding of history is that the decadent last half of the 20th Century went too far in the other direction. He also has the old-fashioned idea about the establishment of one single religion will strengthen a country. We're dealing here with a Bismarck, not a Hitler.
