Putin says, fight!
and they fight
for some stupid reason
and die
by the tens of thousands
without knowing why.
I don't get it.
So many of them
and only one of him.
He plucks them
from the masses
one by one
like gnats
off an ox's ass
yoked and dumb.
Maybe it's the money,
he's got more of it
than all of them combined
owns a $500 million
6-story super yacht
called Scheherazade
and they don't even realize
it's their money
bamboozled
LOL.

Admittedly, I know much, much less about what's going on between Russia and Ukraine than I do about Israel and its enemies, but are you suggesting that Putin is 100% responsible for the war between Russia and Ukraine? Are there not some deeper historical animosities involved as well? Regarding the age-old question of whether the Holocaust could have happened without Hitler, most Holocaust scholars (I am pretty sure) believe "no Hitler, no Holocaust". But I am not so certain. The circumstances that brought Hitler to power, and allowed him to remain in power were certainly more far-reaching. If Hitler were not in the picture, there might have been someone else, perhaps just as bad. Similarly with Putin. Didn't the idea of a war between Russia and Ukraine pre-date Putin? Hey, I am not in any way trying to be an apologist for Putin (or Hitler, God forbid) ... I think the man is a scoundrel, he's playing a dangerous power game, and he has gallons and gallons of innocent blood on his hands, but, here I am asking out of ignorance, aren't there other factors involved in the war, or is it really just about him profiting from it?
Seems pretty obvious to me that Putin is 100% responsible for the war. He invaded. Can’t see how any history would justify invading a sovereign nation. But yeah, Ukraine has been resented by every Russian dictator going back to Stalin who starved tens of millions of them to death in the name of collectivisation. Anyway, the poem is less about Ukraine than about an autocratic kleptocrat’s relationship with the people he rules. The narratives he uses to bamboozle them. Gets them to die for him. Scheherazade in reverse.
