Through My Crystal Ball Darkly

Europe won't survive a cold winter
  Israel's and Saudi's ties to us grow thinner
Latin America now under communism's spell
  Iran, India, Turkey among Russia's clientele

Mr. Putin's grand strategy now nearly in place
  Come say a prayer for the human race
Ukraine can't hold out forever
  After that, watch Vladimir pull his levers

Either the United States grows a spine
  Or soon on potatoes and cheap vodka we dine



 ~ Bone up on your Russian, Comrades! ~

Sadly there is much truth in what you see through your crystal ball ! How long can a small country stand against the malicious machinations of another, much larger in size and strength....! A very insightful poem with beautiful rhyming. Love the way you have constructed it !
