    I’d love to see you say that if someone gunned down your compatriots. Or better yet, your family. Surely your condescending Realpolitik tone wouldn’t falter, right?

    Like parts of my family we lost contact with in Ukraine because of Russia? So pardon me if I don’t have that much sympathy for Russia.

    Fuck! Because of your username I now have a strong desire for some nice halva, didn’t eat some in ages. Damn you!

      So have I, I don’t exactly have the government in high regards either. Quite the opposite. But the people that were at the concert hall were not the ones because of whom I lost my family. I see no point in seeking vengeance through shooting random civilians.

      The only violent vengeance that would help is Putin being hung on a gas station railing. But that’s not happening any time soon, he’s probably gonna end up same as Stalin if anything.

        I highly doubt that. Russia is mostly rotten to the core, there are too many for way too long in line with Putin. After him there would be another one and most of the people will continue to support these atrocities.

        Also the Band was Piknik, quite the supportive band of the russian government so I assume most of their fans are also part of this group. Still civilians though…

          Frankly speaking, I’ve not heard of them being either supportive of the madmen in charge, nor being against them directly. The only source for the former is Zakhar Prilepin and he’s as reliable of a source as a cheap headphone wire is reliable for bridge construction, and a concert in the Crimea they’ve held in 2016 but a long time has passed since and people tend to change.

          Wouldn’t count it out, though, can’t imagine being able to play at a fairly large venue in Moscow comes without concessions. By the very least, they’re required to keep their mouths shut in case they do theoretically disagree.
