That's not at all what I said.
What do you think about the video I linked?
Also, analogies to dysfunctional interpersonal relationships don't represent the dynamics of many-party international competition very well.

The logic makes zero sense, I'm sorry. It's still a "well, I wouldn't have to do X if you didn't do Y" mentality that completely and utterly shirks any sense of responsibility for one's or one's country's own actions. It's hogwash doublespeak used by BOTH abusers in messy interpersonal relationships, AND by international politicians playing realpolitik.
Yes, you did say that. Russian response was overkill, but you didn't mention Putin there. Clever.
I rarely take political speech on its face value. I only watched half a minute but Putin was stating what he stated for a particular audience, to get a particular reaction.
