The Worst of Humankind - Part 3

So, how to end this senseless war You Russians have begun? No peace again until Ukraine Has smashed you, every one. We’ll give them lethal weaponry To fight our proxy war. We’ll empty out the corners of The Quartermaster’s store. But you don’t like it when we give them Weapons to fight back: Planes and tanks and howitzers, The heavy stuff they lack. You squeal and say that’s cheating, Like the bully that you are, When we even up the fight, Bring Ukraine up to par. Mutually Assured Destruction: That’s what you’re threatening now. Your big red button makes you brave, You think that you can cow Us, shrink us from the brink – ‘We don’t want to die!’ – But are your generals brave as you? Are they prepared to fry? We know you mean the opposite Of all the lies you spout, So when you say you’ll nuke us all It’s time to call you out. But if you’ve really lost your mind, Nothing will be enough. Let’s face the worst of humankind: It’s time to call your bluff. Meanwhile, we watch the tv news And try not to be blind To all the crimes committed by The worst of humankind And try to quell the rage that clouds The judgement and the mind: The fury, rage and anger at The worst of humankind.

They're certainly the dregs of humanity, that said there are many in Russia opposing him but get arrested for it. He wants sanctions lifted and he'll release the grain stored in ships in the port of Odessa. They must be feeling the pinch now. About time the UN sent in a force to get that grain out. Tom

Unfortunately the UN's worse than a paper tiger.
