"It's none of my business," the woman said, "but..."
The witch did not roll her eyes.

A decade ago, Brussels and the entire country stood still. 🇧🇪🕯️

It is a shame when you did not think of mines, when bluntly attacking such an enemy, without a declaration of war (or any warning), meanwhile decomissioning your main minesweepers. Just a few left...
