But, if occupied, no holds should be barred. We really don't know where the Russian people are on this theft, there is not purpose of driving them into Putin's fold. Yet.

Most of the world is supporting Ukraine right now. Turning into aggressors might jeopardize some of that support. People don't respond well to attacks on civilians regardless of the situation.

Be it Polish, Hungarian, Czech, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Ukrainian ......

Babcia, Busia, Nana the stone cold stare can stop a man or tank in it's tracks. Death by guilty conscience.

My mom, grandma, great great grandma and all my aunts.

They are watching from above. Putin has really pissed them off.

She told me a couple days ago that she was playing in the curtains, and they “fell” down.

I said “was mommy mad?”

Grandgirl says “yes! She was wearing her game face!”

Interesting how things get lost in translation.

Except for "that look". Universal glare of death.
