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.”

      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.
