After Diplomacy

“There is no particular need in maintaining diplomatic relations,” Medvedev said. “We may look

at each other in binoculars and gunsights.”

As you have crossed the line and have killed

without cause and seek to end democracy

in Ukraine, your threats about diplomacy

fall on deaf ears, your nuclear posturing

also. If you want to destroy half the planet

including your own citizens with nuclear

weapons then our only option is to destroy

you first. Our special teams can operate also

in your cursed air space. Our highly trained

commandos can hunt you as they hunted an ISIS

leader the other week in Syria. You are not

impregnable. The opposition is internal. How

do I know all this? A little bird tells me.

God tells me, my poem and hope tell me.
