Statement comes after shooting and fire at Russian concert hall kills more than 100 people and injures more than 100 more

The US secretary of state Antony Blinken condemned Friday’s terrorist attack in Moscow in a statement Saturday afternoon, calling the shooting a “heinous crime”.

“We condemn terrorism in all of its forms and stand in solidarity with the people of Russia in grieving the loss of life from this horrific event,” Blinken said in the statement. “We send our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed and all affected by this heinous crime.”

Good. I may not like Russia for a lot of reasons, but nothing justifies this sort of shit.

Well maybe if Israel hadn’t reservationized them first there wouldn’t be these massacres to begin with!

The middle east had been a historic haven for the Jews from European discrimination before the Zionists decided settler shit is totally cool if someone on a completely different continent does bad shit to you first.

Were the Americans justified in trying to wipe out the Native Americans by how many of them had fled discrimination in Europe first?

Were the Afrikaaners justified in doing it to the Bantu people because they didn’t want to be British subjects?

Does the large share of Australia’s and New Zealand’s populations that are Irish and Scottish excuse what they did to the Aborigines and Maori?

Are all those Indigenous Americans, Bantu folks, Aborigines, and Maori people terrorists for having the gall to shoot back at the people actively taking their land?

Are you capable of discussion or are you just capable of copy pasta?

So do you think anything justifies genocide? I.e. so you think there is some act so heinous that the systematic erasure of a people is justified?

Because it sounds like you do. It sounds like ‘Never Again’ means nothing to you.

Man will you fucking get off whatever the fuck phosphorus munition gas your fucking “defense” force is shooting at your neighboring kids?

Fucking gal to call people under strict dictatorial ruling for decades cowards for not standing up in civil war while your fucking democratically elected tyrant and homebrew genocider is on a killing spree while you are obviously and actively supporting him.

Man if the world worked more like what you expect of the Russian people Bibi would have been lynched by his own entrails by the Israeli people by now for meat grindering them to chase the dream of exterminating the Palestinian people and controlling everything between the Nile and Euphrates.

He didn’t say that Russia’s foreign policy was great or that their domestic politics were great. He just said that them being subjected to terrorism was bad.

They’re compatible positions to hold.

A world with more terrorism probably isn’t gonna improve on the issues that we do have with Russia.

As always, I have no issue with the Russian people, regardless of my (very poor) opinion of the Russian government.

We’re all in this together. Innocent people were killed; everyone should mourn the murder of people who are just trying to live their lives.
