Well, at a minimum you're asking him, in quite an accusing way, to defend against a bunch of things he didn't say. That's pretty close to "putting words in his mouth, but with question marks after them". It's not a fair form of debate, and it's not welcome here.

You said:

> Or you're suggesting that any nation that doesn't act as a puppet of the US should be forced into severe economic sanctions as punishment? In other words, the US should be the only sovereign nation in the world?

That's stuffing words in his mouth, because he literally didn't say anything remotely like that. It's also far more inflamatory than anything he said.
