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! ~
