    chop off the limb of the tree one sits on; saw off the bough on which one is sitting; cut down the branch on which one is sitting

    Стыдно сейчас насмехаться, ухмыляться, плакать, ломать руки, ахать над Россией, над которой пролетает революционный циклон. Значит, рубили тот сук, на котором сидели? (А. Блок, Интеллигенция и революция) — It is shameful at this moment to be arrogant, sarcastic, to weep, to wring your hands, to sigh over Russia, over which the hurricane of revolution is now sweeping. Does this mean we had been cutting down the branch on which we were sitting?
