The difference between the US and Russia when an ambassador is assassinated.

Without giving too much of my own opinion or analysis, I'll just say this: We are about to see what happens when a Russian ambassador is killed by terrorists. We already know what the response is when an American ambassador is killed by terrorists.

An obscure, independent filmmaker gets falsely blamed and imprisoned.

I have no love for Russia, personally, but I think their targeting will be a bit more accurate than ours was.
