senseless

The "incoherence" Lindsey Graham sells
is not an alibi to exculpate
a president who cavalierly tells
his embassies to "go ahead and wait".
Zelensky's got a narrow plank to walk
Between the Kremlin and U S. demands.
But Trumpty-Dumpty's disorderly talk
means conflict--if not war--is close at hand.
The Russian GDP's no more than Spain's--
--scant base on which to sensibly aspire.
But Putin trusts that Trumpty's so insane,
he'll reconstruct the Soviet empire.
While Graham does obeisance to his boss
democracy itself may take the loss.
