Is this some overreaction?


In an interview broadcast Wednesday, Biden replied “I do” when asked if he thought Putin was a “killer.” Russia responded by recalling its ambassador in Washington for consultations and Putin on Thursday pointed at the U.S. history of slavery, slaughtering Native Americans and the atomic bombing of Japan in World War II in an “it-takes-one-to-know-one” response.

Slavery ended 1865. Sterilisations (of black, for instance) ended in the seventies. Last Indian massacre was 1911, some months before my grandmother was born. She died in 1993.

As to bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I did not find articles for all involved, but Claude Eatherly died in 1978, Frederick C. Bock in 2000, Charles Sweeney in 2004 when I set out on a pilgrimage to Santiago, and Paul Tibbets in 2007.

While I have severe misgivings on Biden, especially on abortion, if Putin had brought that up, he'd be a kettle calling the pot black.

Meanwhile, Joseph Biden, who'se name's day it is today, was not holding a speech with the point that Putin was a killer, he was answering in an interview.
