Could you?

Definitely.

I think I would if it were to protect my children when they were young/ little, and now my grandchildren.

Otherwise....no. I keep saying to my husband, why doesn’t someone just shoot Putin? but I know if I was faced with him....I couldn’t do it.

I tend to just feel sad for people like this. Mad really.

Yes I would fight for my country even at my age 65. I would do anything to protect my family and fellow citizens alike.

Watching those women making the cocktails I just wanted to get in there with them.
My anger knows no bounds when we’re dealing with bullies.

Yes, yes and yes!

I dont think anyone can know the answer to that. I think saying it on the internet is meaningless to be honest.

I think l could pull the trigger on Putin too !

I so would make them to defend my family

It is self defense

And other families too if I didn't have my own

I am appalled by violence and cruelty of any sort and for many years campaigned for CND.

That said, desperate times call for desperate measures. To protect all I hold dear and believe in I could and would do this.

The people making the Molotov cocktails looked like ordinary people frantically doing something they never, ever thought they would find themselves driven to. The courage we are seeing from ordinary people is beyond imagining.

The problem I have is....these ‘cocktails’ will be killing innocents. Russian young people forced to fight with no choice.

If we were hurling them at Putin himself, it would make more sense. Still not sure I could though.

What did the Russian solders sign up for ?

merylstreep did they have freedom of choice ???

I could definitely pull the trigger on Putin. I think he is the anti-Christ.

Yes

I can’t imagine being complicit in any sort of violence, but I have never been in a situation where I would need to defend my family. Thank heavens.

I think that in the face of an invading army there's no way of knowing what anyone would do.

Yes! I would do anything to protect the people and country that I love.

I think I could make weapons. In fact, if my children were on the front line, and I had grandchildren in bunkers, I'm sure i could.

I'm not sure that I could throw them directly at young soldiers, but I suppose instinct would take over. Although I am doing it myself, I can't help thinking that it's a bit tasteless even discussing this hypothetically when there are people doing it to save their loved ones, though.

To defend my family, yes yes yes.

If there was a tank training it's guns on me, then yes, I would. Self-preservation has to take over at some point from passivity.

Yes I would; I hope I never have to.

I’m not sure they did. News bulletins we’ve seen have shown them to be totally confused as to why they’re there. ( In Ukraine).
