A short tale of different ways to fight a war
That should make civilized people’s blood pressure soar
Putin’s armed forces hiding behind a euphemism of a military
operation, crossed the border with tanks and mechanized forces on land and drones,
rockets and planes in the air
Europe and the U.S. hobbled by a dementia infected Biden
created another feckless line in the sand with feeble sanctions accepting that
in the streets of Kyiv Russian forces would soon be there
But the outnumbered Ukrainian Army and air forces after a
few hundred miles stopped them in their tracks
Despite not having weapons or having them but not permitted
to strike into Russia sending more and more full military coffins to their families
back
Putin never one to be hampered by civilized rules of warfare
Filled Ukrainian air space with drones and rockets not
targeting military targets but defenseless citizens living there
The news today may mean that NATO has enough of the Putin
the Civilian Butcher’s killing spree
Ukrainian drones crossing the border in trucks were launched
against 5 Russian airbases destroying over 50 planes that Ukrainians jumping
for joy would see
Russian troops are dying not to save Mother Russia from the
brutal Nazi scourge
But to conquer fellow Slavs that Putin in his dream to
recreate the Soviet Union wants to from their lands purge
The world hopes the casualty lessons that drove the Soviets from Afghanistan to finally flee
Should be infecting the Russian troops who by growing numbers
want to end this war and return to homes and safety
