Notes About The Poem

Two Russian missiles struck inside Poland which is a NATO country.

Russian Aggression

The big bully of the civilised world the Russian Federation
Launched a barrage of missiles today hitting a NATO nation
Two innocent people lost their lives in the country of Poland
It's time for the west and NATO, to man up and make a stand.

Intentional or not the west and NATO, they should not ignore
Or we going to accept it was accidental until they fire more
Russia will no doubt blame Ukraine, that's the story they'll tell
The west now needs to send Putin a message and unleash hell. 

Vladimir Putin the aggressor started, this war in Ukraine 
Its now time to stand to him and inflict on him great pain 
You cannot reason with a terrorist country and that is a fact
No more pussyfooting around ,NATO and the west needs to act. 

From day one that psychopath has been spoiling for a fight
He now needs to be shown the power of NATO's military might 
Putins ageing equipment from World war 2 is no match for the west 
Its now time to put our firepower, and highly trained armies to the test.

I Am Anaya May 24, 2023 at 9:54 AM The Battle of Bakhmut is among the appalling events of Russia’s grotesque war on Ukraine. UPDATE Isolated by the West over its invasion of Ukraine, Russia strengthened its connections to China, Prime Minister Mishustin said. Russian private army Wagner, Y Prigozhin, says his force lost more than 20,000 fighters in the drawn-out battle for Bakhmut. Will the Ukraine War Become a ‘Frozen Conflict’? He wants his Legacy fulfilled, will do anything to get it! Great share, Tom. Warm Wishes in Norway! I Am Anaya May 25, 2023 at 11:09 AM I'm excited for you, Tom! Tom Cunningham May 24, 2023 at 10:28 PM Thank you very much Anaya, Russia cares nothing for human life as we see daily, meeting Anne-Lise today, looking forward to it. Hope you're keeping well. Tom

Judy Ball November 19, 2022 at 1:10 PM I believe that all wars are fought because somebody in great power got greedy. If good men don't stand up and fight for what is right bad men will take over. Well said Tom. God Bless, JB Tom Cunningham November 20, 2022 at 12:39 AM Thank you very much Judy, Putin wants to restore the Iron Curtain but he won't succeed, he'll go down in history as a mass murderer, he's as bad as Hitler. Tom

Jennifer Proxenos November 18, 2022 at 10:57 AM Greed for nasty selfish people is inevitable, it is all about themselves, but i am certain, the ending to this horror tale will not be in his favour. Blessings, Jennifer. Tom Cunningham November 18, 2022 at 11:04 AM Thank you very much Jennifer, I don't know how that poor excuse for a human being sleeps at night, hells fire awaits that piece of thrash. Tom

Deb M November 17, 2022 at 10:54 PM Hey Tom….I actually echo Harrys comment! So sad, so unnecessary and for what! So many innocents dead…..Debx Tom Cunningham November 18, 2022 at 12:42 AM Thank you very much Deb, winter is fast approaching in Ukraine, people will freeze to death. We're already supplying weapons so we are involved. Putin is a snake and is not human, he really needs to die, NOW Tom

Harry Horsman November 17, 2022 at 5:55 PM Thousands of young men dead, the same with civilians, millions in dire straits, living in bomb shelters, and still the west stand on the side line, like a football match, throwing the ball into play, only its weaponry, but now its a new ball game, and the west need to play (fight), had they done at the beginning, thousands would have not lost their lives. One man the cause, three others waiting in the wings for their turn, China the biggest threat of all. Tom Cunningham November 18, 2022 at 12:39 AM Thank you Harry, I get angry every time I see that scum Putin has committed another atrocity, the west stepped in when Islamic State were butchering people, why is this different, the west really needs to man up, you're right about the other rogue states waiting in the wings. Taiwan next, then South Korea, All it would take is one bullet to take Putin out. There would be no shortage of volunteers to pull the trigger, that's for sure. Tom

Sara Kendrick November 17, 2022 at 12:21 PM Well, they are saying now it could have been one of Ukraine's own missiles. They are going to investigate it to death. Good political work. I enjoyed reading it. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara Tom Cunningham November 17, 2022 at 1:32 PM Thank you very much Sara, even if it was an air defence missile the blame lies with Russia. I would not trust Putin. Tom

Demetrios Trifiatis November 17, 2022 at 2:10 AM Your thesis, my dearest friend, Tom, is so clear and so convincing. NATO has to stand up to this dictator. We should not repeat the appeasement policy of 1936-1939 against Hitler for as an ancient Greek philosopher, EPIMENIDES said: " Those who forget their history are condemned to repeat it! " Well-balanced writing! Be blessed. Tom Cunningham November 17, 2022 at 2:31 AM Thank you very much Demetrios, that is so true, everyone back in the thirties kow towing to Hitler giving him free reign and now here it is with Putin, Russia is the aggressor in this war and any blame lies with them. Tom

Valsa George November 17, 2022 at 1:13 AM It is a fact that everything was started by Russia and now things are getting out of control . So some intervention from NATO is required to put Putin under control to check further atrocities, though no one can decide from whose side the missile has come..... Tom Cunningham November 17, 2022 at 1:21 AM Thank you very much Valsa, was just reading that Ukraine are denying it was their's, investigations are continuing but the ultimate blame lies with Russia who started this unnecessary war. Tom

Tony Hargreaves November 16, 2022 at 12:57 PM Hi Tom. Was the missile from Ukraine or Russia? I think the latter. Was Russia just testing - rattling the cage, to see what NATO would do. Not seen Jan's poems and great limericks recently. I wonder. All the best. Tony. Tom Cunningham November 16, 2022 at 1:12 PM Thank you Tony, read reports it might have been a surface to air that Ukraine was using to shoot down Russian missiles, it wouldn't have happened if Russia hadn't invaded Ukraine so the real blame lies with Putin. Heard from Jan a while back she's OK just taking a break, hope you are keeping well. Tom

Rico Leffanta November 16, 2022 at 10:20 AM Too bad we did away with Lee Harvey Oswald, who could give Putin some schooling! The BBC reported it was just a Putin test to see if NATO would really respond. NATO diplomatically responds they aren't sure he did it, only that it was a Russian missile. Too bad for everyone! Aloha! Tom Cunningham November 16, 2022 at 10:24 AM Thank you Rico, they think Ukraine might have deflected it but its still a missile that was still fired by the orcs. Tom

Vijay Pandit November 16, 2022 at 5:43 AM I share your sentiments, Tom. It has gone on for far too long. It appears it was Ukraine's defensive missile that landed in Poland--still, the cause of all this is Russia. Keep up the good work. Tom Cunningham November 16, 2022 at 6:29 AM Thank you very much Vijay, I saw that too but I agree if Russia hadn't been in Ukraine it wouldn't have happened. The blame lies with the Russian scum. Tom

Anne-Lise Andresen November 16, 2022 at 2:13 AM - "The big bully" is never going to give up... he is not satisfied with "a little" he wants "all of it" - Why hasn't anyone stopped him a long time ago... do we have to wait until it's too late? ... weeds grow and become huge ... - "NATO and the west needs to act" !!! .... it's like believing in fairy tales ... they are afraid of "The big bully" and the consequences of the third world war ... - The future looks very dark, Tom - hugs Tom Cunningham November 16, 2022 at 4:19 AM Thank you Anne, he's a law unto himself and does what he likes, he shouts and the world cowers. He's only one man for goodness sake, all it takes is one bullet. Tom

Victor Buhagiar November 16, 2022 at 12:02 AM But it was a mistake :) You can all laugh because that's what the bully wants. Great poem. Tom Cunningham November 16, 2022 at 4:20 AM I'd glady light the fuse Anne, Anne-Lise Andresen November 16, 2022 at 2:44 AM - a mistake ... then "The big bully" has to stop playing with the big toys - put one up his ### ... set fire - Tom Cunningham November 16, 2022 at 12:36 AM Thank you Victor, those scum don't give a damn who's in the firing line as we've seen in Ukraine. They're already blaming Ukraine which is what you'd expect from those dogs. Tom

Janice Canerdy November 15, 2022 at 6:43 PM The big bully of the civilised world--yes, he/they are! When will the reign of terror end!? Well done, Tom. Janice Tom Cunningham November 15, 2022 at 11:33 PM Thank you very much Janice, seems the west will turn the other cheek, what does it take to stand up to that piece of thrash in the Kremlin. It's an act of aggression that has happened on a NATO country. Tom

Gershon Wolf November 15, 2022 at 6:40 PM Agreed, agreed, agreed. If this is what it takes/took to get NATO and the West to go all-in on the effort to repel, and then pummel and punish Putin (to the death!), then so be it, I say! Tom Cunningham November 15, 2022 at 11:30 PM Thank you Gershon, not enough to trigger article 5 they say, oh it was accidental vlad didn't mean it. Unbelievable. Its a Russian missile and people were killed, if that was me there would be B52, s over Moscow by now, and special forces sent in to liquidate that dog. Tom

Sotto Poet November 15, 2022 at 3:41 PM Thank you for providing this information, Tom. I came upon your poetry about the same issue while watching the news. Unfortunately, this escalation may lead to a larger and more widespread war. This insane guy Putin is to be stopped from causing further harm to this already struggling planet. Tom Cunningham November 15, 2022 at 5:47 PM Thank you very much Lasaad, I totally agree, that physchopath is out of control doing what he likes and at the moment seems to be getting away with it. I believe it was a deliberate act to see how the west reacted. Tom

Jenna Logan November 15, 2022 at 2:40 PM I only wish someone, somehow had been able to take him out when this started. How does the West and Nato deliver him what he deserves without harming innocent Russian citizens? Can that damned madman be found to put an end to his tyranny and/or life? I pray this can be done. Tom, thank you for the information. Poland today... where tomorrow? Tom Cunningham November 15, 2022 at 2:48 PM Thank you very much Jenna, I was angered when I saw the news report, the Russian scum are already trying to muddy the facts. They haven't the decency to own up to their mistake. We seem to roll over when Putin starts ranting. Talking won't solve this conflict, Russia is testing us, and other rogue countries are watching. Nobody wants war but sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. Tom

Robert L. Hinshaw November 15, 2022 at 2:36 PM Thanks for recapping this tragic turn in Putin's war, Tom. He is digging himself a deeper hole and he will eventually pay for it. Bob Tom Cunningham November 15, 2022 at 2:41 PM Thank you very much Bob, he's crossed the line and I believe the west should respond with an iron fist, already they're accusing the west of trying to escalate the conflict, enough is enough. Tom

L Milton Hankins November 15, 2022 at 1:31 PM It's long past time, Tom, for the West to show our muscle and force a showdown with this tyrant who covets something lost long ago that cannot and should not be restored. Putin can be subdued with conventional weapons if the NATO nations will man up and do what they should. If Ukraine can rout the invaders, think what NATO and the West could do in very short order! L Milton Hankins November 16, 2022 at 10:32 AM Oh, Tom, as much as I despise Trump, there is no question that he did some laudable things while he was president. I had no qualms about his economic policies, either. It was just his compulsive lying, blustering, and incessant narcissism that turned me off to him. Tom Cunningham November 15, 2022 at 2:18 PM Thank you very much Milton, I fully agree, our weaponry is far superior compared to the crap his military possess, he's crossed a line IMO, he needs to be given a bloody nose now or it will make him more powerful. China, Nth Korea and Iran are watching from the sidelines, we need to show them and Putin that we've been pushed too far, one thing about Trump I know he has his faults but he ordered a drone strike on that Iranian Republican guard I couldn't help but applaud him for that. Tom

Ilene Bauer November 15, 2022 at 1:17 PM well said, tom! it's so disturbing that this just keeps going on and on with no end in sight... Tom Cunningham November 15, 2022 at 1:47 PM Thank you very much Ilene, accidental or not he needs a firm response or it will never end. Tom
