My sentiments exactly, blow up a few opera houses, churches and schools and see how Putin responds.
Invading Ukraine might not seem so fkn funny when they're putting out flames on their children's backs.
quid pro quo, tit for tat, see if Putin likes that...
The Moscow Siege - December 31, 2002
Terrorism also hit Europe in October, when Chechen rebels seized a Moscow theatre during the staging of a musical, taking hundreds of people captive. 18 of the attackers were women. They mined the theatre and threatened to blow it up unless Russian President Vladimir Putin withdrew troops from Chechnya. On the day the theatre was seized, some people managed to escape, as seen in dramatic footage filmed by Moscow's rescue services.
Three days later, in a pre-dawn raid, Russian special forces stormed the building, killing the 41 militants. At least 129 of the hostages also died, most of them felled by a narcotic gas used to knock out the rebels before the special forces stormed in. Russia held a national day of mourning for the victims amid rising criticism of the authorities over the number of hostages killed in the operation. Doctors treating the survivors complained their work had been hampered by not knowing exactly what gas had been used by the special forces. Many of the survivors were loaded unconscious onto buses outside the theatre after their rescue.
