What Did I Do - In Putins Own Words

What did I do, Quite the disaster, but if only they knew The depth of the hole I find myself in, Thank goodness ambition is no mortal sin. I seriously thought this thing would be fast, A simple invasion, a side show, a blast, Over by dinner then pop the Champagne, Ukraine by name only, Russia’s domain. Never the thought came into my head That a little B actor would play me instead, Tenacious and cunning he's proven to be But if chess is the game, good luck playing me. The West struts its stuff, more noise than effect, A mish mash of junk all easily wrecked, Perhaps they forget the Russian resolve, Stay tuned for a while and watch it evolve. Ukraine is no match for what we can do, Time our best friend and that's always been true, We're patient and hardy, impervious to pain, We'll suffer and bleed for what's ours to gain. Don't read me wrong I want this to end, I'm just very careful which message I send, At the end of the day I'll make a tough deal, And a big swath of land I'll invariably steal. Ukraine won't be happy, the West will cry foul, But don't be impressed, it's merely a howl, A little play acting for show and effect, As for this to continue they clearly all dread. Ignore the odd glitches it's the outcome that counts, This hasn't been pretty, a truth with few doubts, But often what shines is merely fool’s gold, Land is the key and Ukraine’s I will hold.
