Who Gives a Dam

Russia's done it again
    This time they've blown up a dam
  Flood waters cover the land

  Farmers' livelihoods wiped out
    Stranded Ukrainians shout --
  Help! as the 'civilized world' checks out

Hmm. Interesting angle. Hadn't considered it. Kind of figured the Lord might be staying out of this conflict for a while more. I am probably 'all wet.' He's running the show, of course -- although he lets us go (wild).
