Zone1 The Moscow massacre and etical considerations

[expat500]

Have you seen the wrath inflicted on the perpetrators by the Russians?

Whereas woke “we“ would read them their rights.

The west seems to be tying itself in knots over this massacre. Terrorists killed over 100 people so the world rushes to condemn it.
And yet a few miles down the road and people are being murdered every day by Russia. There is a more nuanced reaction to that based on partisan political lines.
Much of the world condemns that but the right justifies the slaughter.
IS has claimed the killings. But if it had been Ukraine that carried it out would the reaction be any different ? Would people condemn the killers or point out to Putin that you reap what you sow ?
The victms are dead whatever. Would the dozy Sunak be able to change his stance from sympathy to whatever depending on the perpetrators ?
Is it self interest ? A Ukranian death squad is unlikely to bomb Paris or London but these muzzie nutters could strike anywhere.
So to Russia, we are happy to see your citizens slaughtered in Crimea but we are a bit sniffy about them being killed in Moscow.
Worth noting also that America facs a Moscow type massacre every day . But nothing gets done,

As someone pointed out on Facebook, it's always the ordinary people who get it.

The same with Israel/Palestine, it's the ordinary people losing their lives, same with Russia, the Muslims in Chechnya and other parts of Russia and the Ukraine.

It seems the unscrupulous assholes are the ones most likely to get into power.
