With the criminal actions of Vladimir Putin and the Russian Federation, the world is less safe today. Democracy, freedom and the stability of Europe are threatened by the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. The world must respond harshly and without waiver in condemning the despicable act of war initiated by a tyrant and bully. This may seem abstract and distant to many in the West, do not be lulled into a false sense of security. Russian aggression and our responses are being watched by China and other threats to human rights, freedom of speech and the very core values of free and democratic societies. Now is the time for the international community to show these despots that our resolve is strong. Stand strong for Ukraine, Europe and for freedom everywhere.
Vladimir the Terrible,
Has he gone insane?
At the word of a madman
Tovarishchi Putin Ukraine.
Across the border
At lighting pace,
With an F. U. to the world,
“I Putin your face!”
To the West I implore
You’d best not forpass.
zanimat’sya svoim delom
or I’m Putin nukes up your ass.
For his reckless actions,
International sanctions he’ll face,
But with Beijing behind him
He won’t be Putin his place
No time to be insouciant,
We must stand up as one,
Thumb our noses at tyrants
And with Putin be done.
For this act of war,
He deserves a beat down,
or a dose of Novichok
For to be Putin the ground.
tovarishchi (товарищи) – Russian for “comrades”
zanimat’sya svoim delom (заниматься своим делом) – Russian for “mind your business”

You are absolutely right. We can’t afford complacency or appeasement.
