I will condemn Russia that will put Mensch to shame

What the Russians did at Beslan was wholly negligent. They pumped in tranquilizer gas, they can do that, governments are allowed some discretion in that area. But the gas was apparently classified, they had civilian doctors treat the victims without any knowledge about it. Russia isn't a small country, they have plenty of military doctors they could have pulled to treat people. They also take in corruption as much money as the Soviets had spent on defense. Instead of protecting their country or investing in it, they enrich themselves many times over. They also ban comedy. No legitimate government bans comedy. P.S. The Soviets import as much grain as Russia currently exports. Someone, go puzzle that out.
