Everyone knows how tough Ukrainian grannies are. Even though they can deal with deadly munitions, they shouldn’t have to.

Drones over Lithuania, flares fired at Danish aircraft, the Polish border strike. These attacks are a direct result of Europe’s weak response to Leipzig & all other provocations.
