Intensify

how many times does 
hillary 
have to tell the world
that Russia needs to do this,
or Russia needs to do that,
before she runs out of breath?---
it is Russia that reads between the lines &
sees the ulterior motives in the west
promulgated by the empire,
for a restructuring of Syria,
so that it will not turn out like Egypt---
how many times do people in
Syria have to assert to the cameras
that if other countries weren’t paying
the various rebel groups in their own 
country,
that a civil war would not be just around the
corner?
just how 
INTENSE
does the US, NATO & all their buddies
want the situation in Syria to get,
so that at the last minute they can come 
sweeping in 
with their big state-of-the-art
armies
to prevent the people of Syria from doing it
themselves?
