Another thing. If you know someone (like my mom) who falls prey to things like: "Your PC is infected, please call xxx to get it fixed".
Tell them in no uncertain terms: If you did not initiate this conversation first, then DO NOT respond to it. And...if you get confused, call me.

The only principled stance is to punish Russia into retreat: militarily, economically, diplomatically. Let the future imperialists see what becomes of invaders.
