I’m going to be perfectly honest, I have no idea what you mean in this context/what you’re saying to me once I get past the first comma.

I'm saying you're not engaging with the substance of his point.

If I were to say, "America had a negative impact in geopolitics when it invaded Iraq," it's like you responded with "I'm sorry, but that just seems anti-American."

Just wanted to say that this was an excellent example to illustrate your case.

I don’t think that’s a particularly fair or accurate assessment of what I said.
