World War Three

Putin's just started World War Three
  though if anyone had thought to ask me

You could see it coming back in 2008
  when he rolled over Georgia, then sat back to wait

And the world stamped and shouted
  before leaving the poor Georgians to fate

When Putin's little green men invaded Crimea
  six years later, you got the idea

Now part of Russia, Crimeans are glad
  to travel freely to Moscow and Petrograd *

As for Ukraine, Putin's stepped up his game
  invaded with tanks and missiles, fire and flame

What's next are the Baltics and probably Poland
  That's when World War Three will really get rollin'

Meanwhile, China's got Taiwan in her sights
  She's stripped citizens there of all civil rights

To halt the war, what will Biden and Harris do
  Will sanctions save even one life ~ let alone two?

*Petrograd is the former name of what is now the city
of Stalingrad... Crimeans no longer have to bribe Russian
sentries at border crossings just to enter the country.
