Can't disagree, but it is another example of selective outrage ..... Russia is an easy and acceptable target. Saudi Arabia executes people for being gay and no one in the West really cares. Not to mention the system of gender apartheid and complete oppression of non-muslim believers. Where is the outrage, the protests, the pressure on Western governments to act?  

The MSM selects its outrage and criticism ....  Syria is a mess, Russians are partially to blame (True), but  mostly silent on the abuses and destruction  in Yemen. Putin is oppressive and anti-democratic (True), but the dictators in Qatar or Saudi Arabia? etc, etc.
