And what are the Russians fighting for? Putin's ego!

These women are every bit as capable as their men, and their bullets kill Russians just a dead.

Glory to Ukraine!

People defending their homes can be formidable, as the Russians have learned

You know, by staying within their borders and not threatening everybody.

And in case it's needed

but Wonder Woman is a cartoon. These are true, battle clad wonder women, and if I were a Russian soldier I wouldn't want to meet them on a field of battle.

You go, girls!

BRAVA!!!!!

As my daughter used to say: "GIRL POWER!!!" And MAN-oh-MAN, NOBODY was gonna mess with her - and likely won't dare, to this very day.. She's a second-degree blackbelt, too. With a 10th-degree brain.

She was a Ukrainian émigré, whose family came to the US after WWII by lying and saying they were Polish. She was a tough old broad, but fair. I loved her to pieces, but knew not to f*ck with her. I'm so glad that she didn't live to see this tragedy.

The invading Wehrmacht feared Ukrainian women “partizany,” and rightfully so. One would think that Putin would know this better than anyone, but maybe that’s why he is sending in 19 year old conscripts first. Anyone who is left will be a hardened soldier, and the ones who don’t come back were expendable in the first place.

Unfortunately the women fighters face a whole nother hazard. Supposedly the Russians are already committing sexual assaults on the women they come across.

Go head, Russia, add more fuel to the fire for an already outraged world!

What the russians (small r intended) did to Chechen fighters in that conflict was brutal; what they did to female fighters was unspeakable. These women should all have some means to quickly end it if they are facing capture. And a pact to take each other out if too injured to do it themselves. I suspect these women do; they look like pure steel.
