Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Too Provocative

Russia valiantly fights 'a war of defense'
  against Ukraine which 'has given offense'
Can Russia depose 'the Nazi, Zelensky?'
  to end Ukraine's 'genocide of slaughtering Russenkis?'         (aka Russians)

Russia's 'defense of her people' is understandable
But are NATO's policies all-so-commendable?
NATO says 'Nyet' to to No-fly Zones -- 'too provocative'
  ~ Russia laughs at such 'justifications' for her to use her prerogative



________________________________________________________
Russia bombs a maternity hospital and a nuclear reactor; levels whole
towns; shells civilian apartment complexes indiscriminately -- and NATO
can't OK a 'No-Fly-Zone' -- a DEFENSIVE tactic! -- to stop it?!!! For the
sake of humanity, when will Western leaders find the courage to FIGHT 
this second coming of the murderous liar, Hitler?!!!!

Kim Rodrigues March 10, 2022 at 11:57 AM Beyond belief…wickedness set before our eyes…still how much is covered up elsewhere…is this just a maniacal taste. Come quickly Lord! Your writing is always interesting and you relay current events head on..especially those that so remind you of the terrors and suffering of the holocaust. Gershon Wolf March 10, 2022 at 6:17 PM Thank you for the inspirational comment, Kim, for helping give me the courage to keep going. Writing about these events is hard for me. It's honestly harder than living through three terrorist attacks I survived in Israel. 'Cuz those are quick blitzes. This goes on and gets worse by the day. Thanks, gw

Rico Leffanta March 10, 2022 at 11:12 AM Enquiring minds want to know how Russians are going to pay for all the destruction in the Ukraine, the loss of military personnel and equipment, etc., when the value of the Ruble has plunged 50% since the Invasion? Does Putin really think Xi Jinping will provide financing? Aloha! Gershon Wolf March 10, 2022 at 6:19 PM Inquiring minds know that if Russians want to build something, they'll just enslave one of their Chechen Muslim populations, while the West 'gets livid' about Islamophobia -- and does nothing besides reopen McDonalds there.
