Say what you will, the Russians are very consistent in their approach to terrorist. They'll "negotiate" but you won't like your choices. It's like, here's your choices, would you like to be shot in the head or stabbed in the throat?

[EvilCapitalist]

Because they know better.

I remember reading about this. At the same time, our embassies and personnel were constant targets. All attacks against the Russians ceased.

I think the answer here is along the lines of why atheists and the ACLU don’t sue muslims.

If a Russian spoke English with a redneck accent, he would say to the terrorist after the severing, and before the shot in the head, holding the two up, “ You ain’t gonna be much good to them virgins without these, boy, if I can still call you that...”

There's nothing unique about the Russian approach towards hostage-taking (i.e. reciprocity). It was the medieval practice until much of the West decided that such methods were too uncivilized to perpetuate.

You might just be confusing one enemy for another due to current circumstances.

Ask yourself, would you feel safer living in Russia than wherever you now live?

Kill them and throw them into large pens with feral hogs, and post the video on the internet. That will get their attention.

Only the Muslin traitor in the WH could make me admire the Russians.

I was watching a documentary about the Moscow theater terrorist attack that happened a few years back.

The Spetznaz did a spectacular job of assaulting the place and killing all the terrorists. Unfortunately they weren’t trained in how to deal with the effects of what is believed to have been BZ gas and 130 of the hostages died without the terrorists firing a single shot or detonating a single bomb. (minus 2 killed early in the siege) The fact that the government wouldn’t disclose what the gas was prevented treatment as well.

They took the hostages out and laid them on their backs to recover from the gas but it was exactly the wrong thing to do. They suffocated laying there on the ground. The hostages would have been better off if the troops had laid them on their side or even left them in their seats in the theater.

It was really kind of surprising to see them speaking so openly about such a bad screw up.

When the Russians used chemical agents at the theater where 40 armed terrorist were holding about 850 hostages, when they raided it they even head shot the terrorist who’d lost consciousness.

In 1979 when the Iranian students took the US Embassy in Tehran and took American hostages, they also took some Russian hostages.

In response,

the Russians chopped up some Iranian diplomat in Moscow
and mailed his body parts to Tehran.

Subsequently, the Russian hostages were released, while the Americans remained captive.

Muslims have kidnapped and killed plenty of Russians. Beslan should be required reading for anyone that doesn’t understand that.

It’s more like, here’s your choices: would you like to be shot in the head like a man, or castrated and then shot in the head?
