Well there is one but I doubt it is acceptable. Would require a couple of loose nukes and the wind in the right direction.

Or we could send Skybird. But seriously where do these people get off. I just don't comprehend.

Shock and awe is a tactic that gets the required media coverage, political dialogue doesn't have the same ring to it does it. God knows what the Russian government will do to the instigators of these crimes, me thinks they won't be giving them tea and biscuits.

The eyes of the world on currently on Russia because of the forthcoming winter olympics amongst other things and the bombers are making as much use of that as possible.

Sadly, I can only see matters escalating further.

They could also be sent on a nice long visit to Chernobyl.

Sad that the city-hero of Stalingrad (Volgograd) to do such things. We have not forgiven it fascists and terrorists do not forgive.
