I wasn't addressing that statement. I explicitly agreed that the US is doing bad things. The statement I was addressing was where they were called "exactly the same." I quoted it in my comment to avoid this sort of misinterpretation.

The statement I was addressing was where they were called "exactly the same."

You are the one misinterpreting a statement here, by insinuating that the OP's assertion of "exactly the same" was referring to Russia and US as a whole. It wasn't, and so the point you're arguing against is one that OP never made.

Why are you so completely confident that your take on OP's statement is correct and my take on OP's statement is wrong? You're not Mr_Blott.

Because I'm just interpreting the statement as it was written while you are reading an additional argument into it that the comment plainly does not make. I suggest you brush up on argumentation theory if that is too difficult for you to understand

I can say the exact same thing about it.
