Biden talks
tough in Kiev; "we will stand by Ukraine."
As American
military power under his boss continues to wane
If Putin
orders his Russian speaking plants to more territory seize
A repeat
like the Crimea, he could do with ease
What do we
do, instruct Ukrainians how to quickly freeze
Their U.S.
non lethal, save to the eater thereof,
MREs?
Then toss
them like stones at the Russians in the hope they will quake and then stop
As another
chunk of land into Putin hands then quickly drops?
Obama with
his Rolling Thunder sanctions and feckless red lines in the sand
Will not
lift a finger to with lethal aid give the Ukrainians a chance to withstand
Hopefully,
the Ukrainians know that when it comes to Obama's aid they are alone
For we will
have deaf ears to the wails and tears as they are carved into larger Russian
zones
So it will
at least not be like Budapest in 56 where we sat slinging encouraging, empty words
While the
Hungarians were mowed down in a Red Army tank driven surge.
If Obama
must remain in the non lethal only aid camp
Maybe his
surrender to his Green money bags he could revamp
A Europe
looking to the U.S. for some of its fossil fuels
Would turn
Putin into the chump, into the fool
But with
Steyer pledging $100 million to Blues who will oppose Keystone XL
Getting
Obama to approve more fracking and that pipeline will be an impossible sell
With an
energy aid option off the table, we can only pray Putin wishes Ukraine to first
digest
Ere the Bear
moves to the Baltics and puts our treaty obligations in NATO to the Article 5
test.
