Yep. The US was in a war in Afghanistan/Iraq a couple years ago. I just cant imagine it being seen as favorable if a group blew up Senators or Congressmen in car bombs to have tried to get us to withdraw from the war. It is Russia and im uneducated with that country maybe people have different rules for when it happens over there. And how they view such acts.

Russia has a long, storied history of violently overthrowing their own government. These aren't people angry at their senators and hoping to get them to pull out of a war. These are people who recognize that Putin has already effectively overthrown their government, rewritten their constitution, placed his cronies in seats of power, murders anyone who disagrees with him, and will be in power until the day he dies as he drags the entire country into third world pariah status.

EDIT: put a different way, this is exactly how I'd expect people to act if Trump actually cancelled the election, declared himself winner, but then went further and re-wrote the constitution to eliminate term limits, replaced everyone in the FBI with lackies, and started assassinating everyone at CNN who badmouthed him.
