The deaths of innocents in Russia are just as tragic as those in France. But in a world where money- not human life- reigns supreme, it makes sense that people don’t care about poorer people dying compared to wealthier people.

The concert hall and shopping mall that were attacked in Moscow were decidedly middle class.

Same reason why none in the Western media bubble gave a peep about the Kerman attacks, politics reigns supreme.

Russia is a poorer country than France, that’s my point.

Interesting how this attack got a lot less attention than the ones in Paris in November 2015, despite this attack having a higher death toll.

It got plenty of attention in the UK Huh

Oops.

"One of the Moscow concert hall attackers’ suspected accomplices evaded FSB agents in a town south of Moscow today. The man, in his late 40s and maybe armed, is now on the lam, but local officials insist that the authorities are on the case. (From now on.)"

This is Russia's October 7. Russia will surely hit back, the question is where.

Well, this never happened.

Indeed, thought about this a while ago too. It's similar to the Prigozhin coup attempt: it looked like a very consequential event, but afterwards nobody talked about it anymore.

Well Russia did try to pin it on Ukraine but it was so transparent that ISIS did it that they couldn’t pull it off
