TRUMP ON USA: "WE'RE KILLERS TOO". TELLING IT LIKE IT IS!

PRESIDENT TRUMP DOES NOT LIE--TELLS IT LIKE IT IS.

THAT IS REFRESHING DURING A PRESIDENTIAL INTERVIEW.

Bill O'Reilly aired an interview with President Trump just before the Super Bowl on Sunday (February 5, 2017. During the broadcast O'Reilly asked Trump about his "respect" for Mr. Putin of Russia. O'Reilly added the allegations that Putin "murdered journalists and dissidents in Russia". Trump, sticking to the "respect" part of the question insisted he did "respect" him. Adding "I respect a lot of people, but that does not mean I'll get along with them." O'Reilly, ever the "diplomat" pressed on eager to get a few lines from the novice president that would resonate over the roar of the coming Super Bowl game. He was successful when he added:"Putin is a killer."

The President always ready to "tell it like it is", RESPONDED: "There are a lot of killers. We have a lot of killers. Well, you think our country is so innocent?"

The left and some on the right were dumbfounded. THE PRESIDENT TOLD THE TRUTH TO THE PUBLIC. They quickly made the claim that the President is making a "MORAL EQUIVALENT BETWEEN US AND RUSSIA." Oh my? How could that be? ARENT WE THE GOOD GUYS and everyone else all of them are BAD GUYS. That is how we ten year old kids saw the world in our days in the empty-lots of Brooklyn when we played our war games. Naturally we all wanted to be the GOOD GUYS. UTconcepts are for kids only.

How could it be that the USA and Russia may be morally equivalent? Such an idea tears at our very fabric. It's what makes us Americans. In the comic strip world of US propaganda we are always the "good guys". That is why we are so easily nudged and mugged into senseless wars with the "BAD GUYS". Trump's world is the REAL BUSINESS WORLD. The bottom line on Wall Street or Main Street is not part of a comic strip or fantasy. You have either won or lost. You have either lost money or made a profit. Your efforts were either effective or ineffective. The USA is either a winner or a loser! That is the real world. In the real world yes we do bad things like the other guys too. Perhaps being the big guy in the world stage we do MORE bad things than the other guys. Trump is exaxly right. "There are a lot of killers...and we have killed too."

ISN'T IT TIME THAT AMERICANS WERE FACED WITH. REALITY INSTEAD OF US PROPAGANDA?

We don't have to go into ancient history,to find examples of moral equivalence or (moral turpitude) of ours and Russia's actions two nations which are active in pursuing foreign policy goals which they see ase as essential for their survival or betterment.

Let's take the oft-used claim of Russia bombing civilians in Syria. This was a charge levied at Russia over and over again. It may be true. I expect it was. Do we do the same thing? You betcha! In fact at the very same time Obama was railing about Ruissia's attacks in Syria. US Boeing Strato Tankers were refueling Saudis Arabian jets over Yemen to enable the Saudi pilots the ability to sustain their murderous anti-civilian (over ten thousand killed) bombing campaign over Yemen. That they were dropping US-supplied (illegal) cluster bombs and giving targeting information to more effectively kill Yemeni civilians does add to our culpability there. I would say it probably exceeds anything Russia did in Syria. Yes we kill too.

We need not go into the extrajudicial killings by Obama of US citizens abroad and outside of a war zone, or of the thousands and thousands of innocent killed by his drone bombing campaign in Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, etc. etc. or his extrajuridical "kill list", etcetera, etcetera. I will not need tg go back to WWII, or the even Indian Wars to make my point or enhance this argument my argument..will I?

TRUMP TELLS IT LIKE IT IS. BRAVO FOR HIM!
