Try getting 64,000 likes on anything and you’ll probably fail. But in Russia, all you need is to mock the death of a child and happy fans flock to you. This is a moral catastrophe of great proportions.
Every – and I mean every – bombing victim, especially young or otherwise helpless provokes a barrage of these posts on Russian social media with tens of thousands of likes each, excited, happy comments, smileys, hearts, etc. Of course, they’d be so much more excited if the dead little girl were from California.
The only scenarios where this whole thing gets solved are 1) somebody takes away Russia’s nukes, digs a ditch around the perimeter, fills it with crocodiles, and turns Russia into North Korea and 2) somebody comes up with a positive, non-paranoid explanation for why Russian history has always sucked and why nobody respects Russia.
