I like the Russian philosophy on this sort of event - massive, blind rage and grossly disproportional retaliation. I can make a case that this saves more lives in the long run.
I don’t think that many understand that that the response to the attack in the Moscow theater some years ago was viewed as a “success” by Russians. The terrorists were dead and those even remotely associated with them wished that they were. The citizens in the theater were victims the moment it started, the fact that many survived was a victory.
The Russians will get the names and remove complete scumbag families from the gene pool.
