Pop 'Em in the Teeth

Even though the Ukranian Foreign Minister couldn't confirm/nor deny I honestly hope they did.

How do you stop a bully? Pop 'em right in the mouth.

I know Ukraine has their hands full, but I was wondering if this would happen. I can’t imagine that Russia has the length of the boarder secure to these type of small insurgent attacks. It could cause the Russian public to want this to stop, or it could galvanize them further that the war is just. Either way, I would do the exact same thing and a lot more if I was in Ukraine’s shoes. Either way it’s a mess for sure.

I'm on the fence about that. Defend your home for all you're worth, but don't stoop to their level.

i don't know if i agree that it's stooping to their level.

"turn the other cheek" kinda gets tossed out the window during an unprovoked invasion.

Agreed, but stooping to their level would be lobbing artillery at hospitals and apartment buildings. Targeting oil tanks with a helicopter is fair game if you ask me.

Denying supplies to your attackers is a solid defense tactic.

Looks like Putin is deploying pay-to- play fighters as well now that the Wagner group is supposedly in the Donbas. They will give a bit different profile than his own disenchanted military unfortunately.

...saw another poll last night said only 55% of Americans would stay & fight if we were invaded by the ruskies.

I believe it.

I’ve got nothing against a good fist fight, but I don’t f around with gun play.
Pass the soy sauce.

I was going to add that 1% would just board their jets or yatchets and the other 44% would be busy seeing if they were woke yet on their life screens.
