" BEAUTIFUL WORLD " MY PHOTO, ©

May be an image of flower and nature

Oh, you powerful president of great Russia: The largest country in the world With its 17.1 square kilometers area Covers 1/8 of the inhabited land of the globe. Why have you attacked neighboring Ukraine? Why started killing its people and devastating their land, At the moment they hadn't caused any harm to you Neither had they intended their country to expand? You say you are a Christian and that to God you believe Yet, the whole planet you threaten to destroy With the 6,257 nuclear warheads, you possess From which the 1,456 you are ready to deploy. Ivan the fourth "The terrible " one may think your ancestor is For he also to church went each and every day And when the mass, finally, after many hours over was He was going to torture men and some of them to slay. Now, in the 21st century that we live You seem Ivan's ferocious and heartless image to revive Perhaps to torture and threaten the world with obliteration BUT Mr. President know this: No matter what you do, we shall survive! © Demetrios Trifiatis 01 April 2022

That we we will fi d the courage to fight this enemy of humanity who this time is called Putin. Bless you for caring, my dearest Suzanne @

I wrote it in the hope he would read it, although the consequences for me could be unpleasant or painful. We all have to stand up to him as they had to do with Hitler back in 1930's. Thank you my friend. God bless you!

The only thing this psychopath recognizes is the use of excessive force. I believe his time is drawing to a close. He has lost a large number of soldiers and equipment, and his logistical support is unable to keep up. Demetrios, your last phrase is as well written as the rest of your message. Thank you for sharing!

I wish him to read it but I am certain he will " take care of me " afterwards. I know it but still I must stand up against him. Thank you for your precious comment. Blessings.

Only thing he understands is force. I think his end is coming soon. I like your ending line, Demetrios. Beautiful flowers my friend!

True! He is a trained spy and perhaps a murderer with no emotions, therefore ,we should not be surprised that he is able to destroy the world. He says he is a Christian and he has visited the monastries in Athos Greece. Let us pray him to be guided to do good and not evil things. Thank you, my dearest friend, Vijay!

No true Christian would behave in such a manner and going to church every day won't save him from the fires of hell. Tom

That is for certain, my dearest friend, Tom. Unfortunately he tries to drag the world to catastrophe! Blessings
