I appreciate the excerpt.

I’m not surprised at all by what I read there, because it’s the same mealy-mouthed output anyone else would use in that position.

It’s disappointing to hear a false equivalence between the country he lives in and has little choice in, versus one he chooses to visit wilfully.

Also, language like “ in countries with governments whose values or culture I do not share” is also weak as urine to allude to a place carrying out genocide.

Edit: he mentioned killing of innocents, but did not really specify who he is talking about.
