Unthinkable

Unthinkable
  Unimaginable
Nightmarish
  Devastating
   Heart-rending
    Knee-trembling
Insanity
  Derangement
   Untethered
    Unhinged
A madman
  almost pulled
the Nuclear trigger
  in Ukraine
'cos things weren't going his way
  Horror of horrors...
Kennedy faced down Khrushchev
  Reagan toppled the wall 
But JFK and Ronnie are long gone
  We must stop Putin
  Led by YOU, Joe Biden
  We must stop Russia
  Led by YOU, Kamala Harris
You are the leaders we've got ~
Get up off of the sidelines
  and enter the fray
Take some pride in the USA
  and its armed forces
ready to spring into action
  at your command
Activate the best military
  in the world to STOP
  Russia and Putin, to
REMOVE Evil Incarnate, to
  SILENCE this Monster
  and his cursed countrymen
     FOREVER ~
       before it's too late

Thank you, Caren. Having Putin's finger on the nuclear trigger makes the hair on the back of my hands crawl and the skin on my palms clammy. Vey! (Woe!) ~ Gershon

"Led by YOU, Joe Biden We must stop Russia Led by YOU, Kamala Harris You are the leaders we've got ~" No chance, Gershon; that is why Germany and other European nations took lead on their own, independent of US. Hope they stay tough, not losing courage. I think the Russian people, themselves, do not want this.

Hope you are right, Gershon; but Truman also left the White House with the same tattered suitcase he entered with. As far as the Mayor of San Fran, the city is still a sewer...we will see if it is all optics. And how deep her commitment really goes.

Israel needs to keep its weapons ready but home. This could be a larger coordination than imagined, with Hezbollah and Iran ready to strike.

Once again, we have to lead with the leaders we've got. They're all we have, (sad to say). But one never knows in life. We've all been surprised before. Look at the Mayor of San Francisco, that London what's her name. She's done a complete 360 in regards to the police. Look at Harry Truman, whose family never let a Jew onto their property. He recognized the State of Israel 13 seconds after Ben-Gurion finished reading the Declaration of Statehood in 1948. You never know...

I thought the best military in the world was Israeli; Americans tend to trip over each other, but WWIII should be avoided. Like Hitler, Putin has more than a few screws loose, but leave the solution to your God.

Aye, "God helps those who help themselves" but you most certainly have more faith in the US military than I do! $760-billion dollars and they still can not provide troops with safe drinking water, but have loads of $300-toilet seats and $300 ballpeen hammers . . . . .Aloha!

Pound for pound, Israel's army is very good. But the US army outweighs Israel's by more than a few tons... As for God, we don't rely on miracles. We do our job here; He does His. ~ Age of Specialization (lol).
