where does this say that he was being sarcastic. This part of the interview was so that people would understand more why Sakura did what she did, so that they stop picking on her. Also, you say that that is the correct interview, if so how come I continue to see over and over again in many places how Kishi states she still has feelings for Sasuke, plus how we have already been presented that she still does thanks to that Iwa ninja. If I base my answer on the interview you posted , then it doesn't support a pairings, but only defend a characters action. You and I see this interview and her actions in the Iron Country differently, that much is clear. You see something pro-NSk, I see an author defending their characters action by explaining why the character did what they did. Something you should know since alot of people tend to jump into conclusions is that I don't like SS, but even if I don't like it, I base my answer in what I read and see.The only thing here present is that we have different opinions.
