Childish? Yes. What long term good effect for them is there? 0 nil nothing. Is this very typical of russian mentality for anybody who actually knows the country and its leadership? Absolutely, 0 doubt, yes. Plus arrest of that drunken FSB agent in Romania who was bragging about exactly this terrorism few days ago. Also, very typical.
