I'm not excusing anyone's actions, I merely refuse to stereotype 140 million people based on the actions of a tiny minority.You cannot excuse the actions of a subset of people in Russia being violent (barbaric) by excusing it because the Russian state is non functioning (Barbaric).
Two barbaric characteristics do not negate each other and form a bad situation. It just reinforces the perception that it is a barbaric state of affairs.
"And if the people raise a great howl against my barbarity and cruelty, I will answer that war is war and not popularity seeking. If they want peace, they and their relatives must stop the war." - William Tecumseh Sherman
“The market, like the Lord, helps those who help themselves. But unlike the Lord, the market does not forgive those who know not what they do.” - Warren Buffett
