- jacquesm 7mo agoEither you're too smart for me or I just can't follow you, but could you please expand a bit on your comment? I find it hard to link it to the parent, but I realize that may be on me.
- rob74 7mo agoSorry, it was referring more to the grandparent comment, that referred to Saudi Arabia behaving more responsibly than the US, and Mohammed bin Salman is of course the crown prince and prime minister of Saudi Arabia.
- svpk 7mo agoThey're comparing Saudi Arabia to a drug dealer; I don't think they're ascribing any moral virtue to the Saudi regime. They just believe the Saudis are acting more intelligently.
- Retric 7mo agoHow you use worse implies a wider judgment than how someone behaves on a single issue. Real people are more complicated than Disney characters.
- raw_anon_1111 7mo agoHow many people have Trump’s wars in Venezuela and Iran killed?
- deaux 7mo agoYes? I don't think you can argue in good faith that the latter causes more total harm and damage than the former. It's really quite something to look at it in a different way..
