There is nothing nonsensical about making reference to a comparative event in the past when you have no existing event in the future to which the comparison can be made.

If the event to be compared hasn’t occurred, the historical event would only be potentially comparative rendering the assertion of a nonsensical comparison comparatively relevant.
