I guess it's true that China and North Korea talks shit all the time, but with the reports that Trump is being blackmailed by Russia...

France did it too.
To be clear, I think France had a point there and Russia doesn't, I'm just saying that I don't think this is something that is generally considered out of bounds in international politics.

He's a ex-KGB agent. I think even his supporters in Russia would admit he's killed a few people.

That's not how it works. The way to talk about is by saying that this guy is a real hero for not killing all those people especially this one guy in particular who he didn't kill in an unusually cruel and brutal way. You can't be some sort of savage who just comes out and says it as they are deeply moral orthodox Christian gentlemen. The barbaric way that his enemies fall and opportunities open up for him just shows how cruel and depraved they are to do these things to themselves.

Trump/Putin is truly the Ross/Rachel of our times.

And, much like Friends, this fucking sucks.

I want to see Fox stand their ground and Trump have to give a public apology on their behalf. How deep can this fucking rabbit hole go, we have to find out!
 
Powerful fascist dictators have such thin skin.

You'd think they'd be pretty confident about themselves, what with all the validation they order their minions to provide them with.
 
I don't even get this question. From an American. I mean...come on. Is Bush a Killer? Is Obama a Killer? No? Why in the world not if Putin is? o0
 
didn't USSR protested about the way they were depicted in Rocky 4 or something too? yeah, countries always bitch and moan about their image in medias of different countries. I doubt this will really turn into anything major.
 
"Out of fear for my life and for the safety of my loved ones, I apologize for calling Russian President Vladimir Putin a 'killer'."
 
Would Putin normally even give a fuck what Fox News says?

I feel like at this point he's toying with Trump now. Does Trump turn on his base and say Fox should apologize? Or does his cut a string on his master and say no?

How many journalists have Obama and Bush killed, combined? Probably less than 34.

...less than 1.

There you go. Math isn't that hard! Nor is recognizing war crimes, political suppression, etc. Sometimes you just have to actually read the news before saying some dumb ass shit online.
 
Fox News's Bill O'Reilly in an interview broadcast Sunday pressed Trump on Putin's alleged links to extrajudicial killings of journalists and dissidents, saying: "he's a killer though, Putin's a killer."

Trump answered: "We've got a lot of killers. You think our country's so innocent?"

Listen to this seed gargling fuck..wow.
 
Ooh. This'll be fun! Looking forward to what Agent Trump has to say regarding this, and seeing if said tweet sets Fox News against Trump. Fun times ahead. I hope.
 
On one hand, I want Fox News to say "fuck that" towards the apology and Trump can label them "fake news" along with the rest of the media.

On the other hand, I would want Trump to force Bill O'Reilly to apologize or Trump will probably deliver the apology himself just to show everyone it is indeed "America First...as long as we're Russia's bitch".

So many paths this can go.
 
Trump answered: "We've got a lot of killers. You think our country's so innocent?"

"Take a look at what we've done too. We've made a lot of mistakes," Trump added.

Putin doesn't consider his killings mistakes, though.
 
We're about to find out how far up Fox's ass Trump really is.

Because nothing that Bill O said was incorrect, and he knows it. If he has any shred of integrity, he will not only not back down, but will double down.

But...this wasn't about killing journalists. This was about killing period. And people like Bush or Obama are without a doubt killers. They literally ordered people to be killed. Of course there is a difference between killing journalists and killing enemy combatants. But then O'Reilly should point to that difference instead of taking this weird moral highroad of condemning killings period, as if an American President is somehow above that.

EDIT: I'm wrong, see posts below.

But ordering hits on journalists and political opposition is exactly what O'Reilly was talking about.

I thought this wasn't about BillO personal moral stand so much as he was probing the suggestion that our sitting president abrogates one when it comes to the state-sanctioned murders of journalists. This isn't a palatable idea of the leader of a supposed democracy who doesn't hesitate to praise murderous tyrants like Duterte and Putin for their murders.

Ah damn, now I understand. Yeah, I read this about this story from another source shortly before I saw this thread and I didn't read through this article because of that. That other source simply talked about the "Killer"-line without giving the necessary context.

Completely my fault, should have read this thread over more carefully, you guys are completely right. Sorry.
 
I want to see O'Reilly make himself useful for once and just go apeshit on Putin, just double-down. Call him a fascist clown who should be in prison, a despicable human being and not a valid President. Get those O'Reilly supporters all riled up and make them remember they hate Russia.
 
I think between fox, trump, o'reilly and putin the one who's gonna get squeezed out is good old Bill O. Despite his poisonous reputation he knows that there would be many other organisations willing to have him on.

Place your bets people.
 
O this is beautiful. The conservatives who love both Fox and Putin must be so confused right now. Is there a way Obama can be blamed for this?
