Lavrov has it pegged pretty well, I think.

What a journey we have made that we can no longer define a terrorist.

Russia = radical Islamist shooter, explosives maker, suicide bomber, beheader, immolator.

U.S. = pro-lifer, Christian, pro-family, veteran, lawful gun owner, Republican, conservative.
