Contemplation opus 42

21 November 2022 1450 Hours Politics, Current Events, Warfare
I contemplate the Russian destruction of Ukraine with tragic amazement.
How can the whole world allow such savagery to occur?
Ah, the blackmail of that possible nuclear retort.

Have we really come to this?
That we can obliterate a nation bit by bit
And no finger is lifted to oppose the oppressor directly,
Because of the fear held that the entire world
Will be terminated in a Nuclear Winter.

When will North Korea begin to truly spread its wings?
