Some people talk big, and some people back it up.

When I see somebody like this, for some reason, I'm always reminded of how many people have said that if they had a time machine, they'd go back in time and kill baby Hitler. Meanwhile, we have a bunch of powerful people, including several world leaders, but also people who aren't that well known. All these Hitlers everywhere, and those tough time traveling guys won't do shit about it because I guess they can't get excited about it unless there's infanticide involved.

For the record, I wouldn't kill baby Hitler, as I don't believe in violence. But at least I can respect somebody who is willing to back up their big talk. Even if it won't directly kill one of the most Hitler-esque world leaders alive today, Putin. At least she can fight against an ongoing genocide.

To be fair, it’s way easier to kill a baby (physically, not mentally or emotionally) than a paranoid world leader with a retinue of guards. I wouldn’t call anyone who wants to do that tough based on that alone.
