#1 What's Russian for "Bite me!"?

Beslan was doomed to a bad outcome from the moment it started. These were jihadis intent on massacre, not petty criminals you might negotiate with.

Yeah, there is an argument the Russians could have done more before hand, but it would mean going all Genghis Khan in the 'stans, which would have the ECHR bugwits in a tizzy over that.

#3 So glad we in the UK have left the EUSSR and can kick this "court" into touch.

Wonder when they'll get onto the gimmigrant invasion forces.

#7 Given that the Russian language consists entirely of curse words, I was expecting something a bit more... colorful.
