the Fall

Zelenskyy's way too cool to tip his hand
'when Vance and Trump upbraid his lack of cards.
He's not the fool who'd show these clowns the plans;
they're far too close to Putin, and his guards.
The Brezhnev-era legacy of planes,
lies burnt and punctured on their distant base.
They'll make no further sorties on Ukraine;
these beasts would take a decade to replace.
Mortality now camps at Putin's door;
his blitzkrieg hasn't rolled out as he planned.
His legacy's this grinding bloody war
that Russia's losing to the better man.
The Russian empire Catherine'd made great
strikes out and blusters as it dissipates

useful idiots

Mike Johnson has defied the Kremlin's tools
who'd stuck our lethal aid bill in a ditch
For now, it's Putin's shills who look the fools;
this Speaker isn't Greene's complacent bitch.
As mud solidifies, treads won't get stuck.
With modern armored rolling up the plain,
the antiquated Russian tanks are fucked;
they're wholly obsolete now in Ukraine.
While Greene and Boebert parrot Putin's lies,
all sane observers know what it's about.
To undercut our allies isn't wise;
professor Snyder's called these quislings out.
Zelenskyy's prospects volt-face on a dime;
this season Putin's blitzkrieg's out of time.

waterloo?

The glorious adventure Dugin sold
to prove autocracies are always best
collapsed, confronting hunger, thirst, and cold,
contending with this step-son of the West.
Assured Zelensky'd lose his shit and flee
confronted with massed military might
Vlad Putin's stymied by the brave and free;
Ukrainians spearhead the whole world's fight.
The Finns, the Czechs, the Afghans... know full well
how best to make their occupiers squirm.
As life for non-combatants goes to Hell
Ukrainians are unified, and firm.
Let Putin starve for anyone to trust;
His barbarism's looking like a bust.
