Ya, my baba was fierce - all 4 foot nothing of her LOL
Some things cross racial and cultural lines. I once told a drill sergeant "I fear Grandmother's wooden spoon more than I fear your Training Deficiency Form, sir."

Smart guy. He replied "You do what it takes to keep Grandmother's wooden spoon in her apron, you'll do fine here."

this is just so sad, I almost never cry but i teared up reading this. even though this can be fake, conversations like this certainty happening right now.

Translation: Mother - Ljosha how are you, why didn’t you write for so long? Are you really at a practice?

Loshja - Mama I am not at practice anymore I am not in Crimea

Mother - Where are you??! Papa asks if he can send you a package.

Loshja - What package Mama? I just wanna hang myself.* (corrected)

Mother - What are you talking about? What happened?

Loshja - Mama I am in Ukraine. Here is a real war happening. I am afraid, we fuck up everything here. Even the peaceful (people)*. We were told they would greet us with open arms but they are not welcoming us they are throwing themselves under our tanks, not letting us pass, calling us fascists. Mama is is really tough. *corrected

IF we get involved in a military kinda way, I think our best option is to join with Zelensky in declaring Ukraine a no-fly zone, as in "we'll shoot down anything in the airspace." Air Force out of Poland and the airedales off the Harry Truman (which, by itself, is the fourth-largest air force in the world).

Believe me, our fighter jocks have been itching to get in a furball with real-live, honest-to-god Russians for 70 years. . .
