They spent millions of dollars to kill 13 civilians. Their actions are not only barbaric, they are stupid economically, militarily and in all ways that matter.

Yet there are no protests of the Russian government's actions by Russians. The only thing I've seen the citizenry get exercised about is the lack of fuel.
