I recall at my high school there was a punk called … can’t remember his name, but he was a pain. One day he decided to pick on a quiet, but athletic guy called … can’t remember his name either, but neither were transgenders. But the Quite Lad got the first punch in, breaking said bully’s nose, a nose he rather liked. End of bully, qua bully; he lost his steam after that. Retired General and former Director of the CIA, David Petraeus, thinks that something like this might work on Putin if Putin drops nukes. Sure, I imagine that Putin will not retaliate with more nukes, including super-EMP weapons, collapsing the entire Western electric infrastructure, including the internet. He will just sit back in his luxury bunker and watch it all on TV. But, don’t bet the sheep station on it.
