Not as bad as Russia... damning with faint praise, aren't we?

No. I'm calling out bullshit. If someone says Bob is a terrorist, and I say no, Bob is not a terrorist, I'm not damning Bob "with faint praise" by calling out a nonsense comparison.

There is plenty bad America is doing and threatening in this war. We don't need word games to discuss them adultly.

And you know about Russia how exactly? Ever been there?
