Russia is an anathema, a pariah,
but protected because of power.
Their nuclear stockpile is a threat,
all life on planet Earth…
 
There is one Enemy, Russia,
one clear and present danger.
There is one sponsor of terror,
above all others on Earth…
 
Russia is a nation-state, evil,
bent on conquest, metastasizing.
It will grow larger unless it stops,
feeding on our weakness, our fears…
 
There is one Enemy, Russia,
tentacles, tendrils, growing, reaching.
It only seeks to dominate, to destroy, to eat,
an appetite cruel, unceasing, eternal…
 
Russia is the virus, the plague, the cancer, killing,
The malignant tumor is growing, to be cut out.
It must be killed, removed, this threat,
before it kills more on this Earth…

There is only one Enemy, Russia – v4
 
This poem refers to the many nation states, not just Ukraine. Its scope includes all countries who are being attacked by Russia in many forms of hybrid war. And, the poem is a historic metaphor, acknowledging that this is the same Russia that inflicted the Tatar deportation and the Holodomor on Ukraine.

So incredibly sad that Ukraine is fighting the same terror and genocide today, that caused the Holodomor, the same Evil of Russia, and the world believes Russia can ever be negotiated with... Russia must be defeated.
