A Dangerous Game

we remain
 at DEFCON 4
no cause for alarm
we continue to monitor
  this situation
very fluid
interesting times
buckle your
  seat belt

Nosydoomas prophesized:
  the Bear goes ballistic
  the Eagle tears itself to shreds
  Mars, Saturn, and Pluto meet in the Capricorn Cafe
  the Sky will melt

Vlad the Impaler
vladified:
  "I haven’t said that the troops
  will go there right now...
  impossible to forecast
  a specific pattern of action...”
Warfare not seen
  since 1945
A twisted sense of history
Sanctions an act of war
US troops deployed to Baltics
NATO will contemplate
    Dr. Nyet's
    hypersonic phallic spears
    launched from a doped Mt. Olympus
    under the Black Sea
Where will he stop?
(A former POTUS told us
he has a good soul)

We will not fight
  the Russians
no sign Russia
  will press further West
no cause for alarm
no nuclear threat at this time
We continue to monitor
  the situation
the threat
  of worldwide escalation
  is minimal
NATO fighter jets on high alert
DEFCON 3?

Shock Around the World.     
NATO vs. CSTO
EU vs. EAEU
SMERSH vs. SPECTRE
From Russia with Hate
(reboot 0000000000000000.7)
Dust off Dr. Strangelove

As Putty the Annexer suggested:
"SPEAK, SPEAK, SPEAK PLAINLY!"
