They only have five brain cells total to think with, so.
Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council chaired by President Vladimir Putin, also warned that Moscow could restore the death penalty after Russia was removed from Europe’s top rights group — a chilling statement that shocked human rights activists in a country that hasn’t had capital punishment for a quarter-century.

Okay it’s bombs
I don't think that's fair to say, there is alot of Russians not supporting any of this and lots been brainwashed over years of state propaganda

I didn't mean those Russians, I meant Putin and his team.
I'll put it to you this way. When they moved the DND headquarters the suburb I live in suddenly had a huge influx of Ruskies.

I gotta be honest, most of the Ruskies I've met are pretty cool. They really just don't respect government at all, which is kind of ironic given what most westerners think of Russian culture.
