what on earth is puzzling about it? who wouldn't be outraged? do you think people ought to just roll over and say 'well i guess we deserve it'?

the public reaction (among those who actually believe in russian interference) is one of outrage, not shock that such a thing happens.

we go to war and kill people abroad, many civilians, and nobody galaxy-brains when america executes a murderer. this may come as a surprise, but in-group and out-group ethical dynamics differ substantially in nearly all circumstances.
