Just To Inform You That the War Is Due To Expire On

Dear Ukraine, I am sorry to have to inform you that you must keep fighting and dying. Dear Russia, your options are to die or kill. We have arranged to end this unfortunate conflict in 5 years’ time on May the 8th. If there are any folks left by then may they at least know that the American war machine and its military industrial complex have added much wealth to their coffers, and have made great technical strides in the deadly arts of selective destruction. Yes, it's quite true that most Americans could not find Kiev or Moscow on a map, but the general public are most ‘gong ho’ about all this madness, indeed, most seem sublimely unfussed about the very real possibility of a looming nuclear holocausts – now that’s what we call patriotic! Please be assured that our politicians and pundits also seem ever willing for you combatants to sacrifice your sons, mothers, wives, and daughters until democracy, freedom, and the American way are restored somewhere.
