In For a Surprise

Mr. Putin's 'green men' are in for a surprise
Invading Ukraine is most unwise 

Ukraine's not Belarus or Kazakhstan
Her citizenry's primed, ferocious they'll stand

The longer any invasion goes on
The more Russia will know that she's wrong

The Ukrainians will be roarin' out shootin'
And the whole world's against you, Mr. Putin

Putin has to do something to divert Russian attention from the economy and COVID-19; as former KGB, a little blackmail is certainly not beyond his ken . . . .

I have been saying this to my friends, gw. Big mistake if Putin does not listen. I also know that President Biden has told him to back off. But he has not always taken good advice, so we'll have to see.

From time to time we see some countries flexing their muscles menacingly, Russia and China mainly.
