Since the Fall of the Iron Curtain #SovietUnion #Russia #Evil #Enemy #NATO #EU

An ancient battle of ideologies
of repression and democracy, freedom,
struggle on the continent of Europe
Capitalism and Communism are warring,
quietly, yet not at peace…
 
Our enemy became our ally
for a moment of necessity
to defeat a greater evil;
But we paid an awful price
bound by Mutually Assured Destruction…
 
We know who our one enemy is,
the Soviet Union, now Russia,
since the Fall of the Iron Curtain
The continent of Europe was partitioned
between the free and the enslaved…
 
We are blind; we put our heads in the sand,
as if we believe Never Again isn’t now, already,
Hybrid War is War, every act of terror,
bound for escalation, provocation,
Genocide is their goal…
 
We must choose to become their ally,
to finally Stand With Ukraine,
because they are fighting for our freedom,
for a just peace that will last,
for the defeat of our one enemy…
