Russian term or phrase: Мочить (in this connection)
The context: "Эти милые люди прелестно шутили и мурлыкали песенки под гитару. Все изменилось, когда разговор зашел о войне.
Они сказали: "Мочить!"; "Давить!"; "Мы не потерпим!"; "Давно пара!". Маски были сорваны."

Thanks for the replies. I selected this one because it was the first one that seemed to be sufficient.
Apparently, it's a slang with a meaning that is different from the initial meaning.

to whack, to kill


Explanation:
"Мочить" in this context has nothing to do with the initial meaning (to wet) and refers to the slang version of the verb 'to kill'.

wet'em/waste'm


Explanation:
мочить однозначно=to wet/to waste на сленге того же сорта людей, которые в России говорят “будем мочить в сортире“.

И действительно, это элегантное путинское обещание американские газеты переводили используя, кто wet, кто waste
