America's Dear Leader

Trump wants Ukraine to never join NATO.
To Putin, he'll simply never say no.
He's been played like a fiddle, 
Europe's caught in the middle,
and you can hear the laughter from Moscow.

2 nights ago, my Soup path led me to your poems. I read 1, then another, then 8 more, couldn't immediately stop because I am very impressed with your talent, and I couldn't comment because I was very tired. You have my regrets. I truly enjoy reading you and will see what I can do about giving you worthy comments. There's a dude on here who has pages of limericks, mostly about Trump - I hope he sees this, he'd really enjoy the read. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

CayCay, thank you very much for your kind words. I appreciate it. I started writing poetry about a year and a half ago, and I have truly enjoyed the process as well as reading the poetry of people like you and sharing comments on the Soup. Take care. Cheers from Canada. Jim

Much of the world is anxious. To be honest, I am not optimistic about the prospects for peace. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Sara. Take care.

trumpty thinks too much of himself and of his 'power' to intervene - he's definitely playing 'second fiddle and we know he can't trust Putin. scary times indeed Jim. hugs jan xx

Trump is a danger to the world, I agree he is delusional I see Zelensky wore a suit after criticism in their last meeting and that is news! hugs jan xx

He thinks he's a highly-skilled negotiator on the world stage. In other words, he's delusional...and his delusion could lead to an escalation of the war. The possibilities are terrifying. Take care, Jan.

Well said Jim, can't believe Trump has been played like a fiddle, Ukrainians have died fighting for their land and Trump wants to give dog putin chunks of it. It's about time someone stood up to Russia and give them a bloody nose. Tom

Tom, I would love to see that happen. Unfortunately, I can believe Trump was played like a fiddle by Putin. He admires dictators and clearly wants that kind of power. And it would take a very large coalition of the willing to give Russia that bloody nose they so deserve. Thanks for your feedback. Take care.
