Online activists have leapt to the defense of a Russian soldier who has reportedly confessed to killing six members of an Armenian family, calling on President Vladimir Putin to "send in the troops" to protect all Russian-speakers in the Transcaucasian country.

How is this different than online activists in America coming to the defense of US soldiers accused of crimes in other countries?

Does the United States routinely hand over American servicemen accused of crimes....and why on earth would conservatives support such a policy?

Of course we do. We have for decades. We do it because we do the same thing here. Foreign nationals who happen to be members of their respective militaries who commit crimes on US soil are tried by American courts.

Here is what you need to consider.

"The "Anti-Maidan — Armenia" group responded to last week's demonstrations by calling the protesters "Nazis" — the same term that Moscow's politicians and state-run media had used to refer to the opposition in Ukraine."

That's the MOSCOW Times outsmarting you, truck. They know it's all a put up job.
