Moscow has been sleeping
St. Petersburg is waking from deep slumber
Suddenly seeing urgent attacks
wave upon wave...
 
The stillness has been shattered
with every drone strike...
General Frost is watching
for what will come next...
 
Life will change radically this winter
as the energy sector is struck...
The war will come home
as the mercury drops...
 
The distance has been removed,
Russia’s ancient line of protection...
Ukraine’s missiles and drones
will plunge them into darkness...

the Great Northern War, the Napoleonic War, and WWII,
and how it may be very different in the Ukraine War,
where Ukraine is using asymmetrical warfare to attack
oil and gas infrastructure rather than invading

General Frost, General Winter – v3 #poetry #Ukraine #Russia #Winter #drones #power #heat #gasoline #GeneralFrost #GeneralWinter

Генерал Мороз, Генерал Зима
 
He is no longer a brother, an ally,
He has become an adversary,
the Bear will soon face destruction
in the daunting desert of cold…
 
General Frost, General Winter,
has become their enemy,
the source of their sorrow,
as the lights flicker out,
freezing in the dark…
 
Not like in history, wars of the past,
when Winter was their friend,
the trap of earlier times
when the enemy was beaten by cold…
 
Now, in this moment,
against asymmetrical war,
the vastness of Russia,
the steppes, the cold of Siberia,
General Frost will bring their doom…
 
Every queue for gasoline, for diesel,
Every train fuel that is destroyed,
shattering their sense of security
the barrenness of the cold…
 
Every refinery set ablaze, on fire,
new missile attacks on thermal power
the darkness when the electricity stops,
sets the stage for sorrow, General Frost,
for their quickening death…

Генерал Мороз, Генерал Зима

A nation-state of terror
collapsing in on itself,
no information for their people…
Retribution for genocide
for premeditated murder,
for their endless war crimes...
No longer an ally, a brother,
The Bear will soon face destruction…
General Frost, General Winter,
has become their enemy,
the source of their sorrow,
as the lights flicker out,
freezing in the dark…

Descending into darkness
As Russian Winter closes in,
no longer safe, protected,
drones targeting electricity,
thermal power stations, refineries,
War has finally come home...
Not like in history, wars of the past,
When Winter was their friend...
Now, at this moment,
against asymmetrical war…
The vastness of Russia,
The steppes, the cold of Siberia,
General Frost will bring their doom…

The bear is caught in a trap
Retribution from the skies,
No longer an ally, a friend,
The enemy of General Winter…
Judgment is coming quickly,
in His hand, His icy grip...
Every queue for gasoline, for diesel,
Every fuel train that is destroyed,
shattering their sense of security…
Every refinery set ablaze, on fire,
new missile attacks on thermal power
Sets the stage for sorrow, General Frost,
for their cold, quickening death…

Генерал Мороз, Генерал Зима

A nation-state of terror

collapsing in on itself

Retribution for genocide 

for their endless war crimes...

No longer an ally, a brother,

The Bear will soon face destruction…

General Frost, General Winter,

has become their enemy,

the source of their sorrow,

as the lights flicker out,

freezing in the dark…

Descending into darkness 

As a Russian winter closes in,

drones targeting electricity, 

The war has finally come home...

Not like in history, wars of the past,

When Winter was their friend...

Now, at this moment,

against asymmetrical war…

The vastness of Russia,

The steppes, the cold of Siberia,

General Frost will bring their doom…

The bear is caught in a trap

The enemy of General Winter, 

Judgment is coming quickly,

in His hand, His icy grip...

Every queue for gasoline, for diesel,

Every fuel train that is destroyed,

shattering their sense of security…

Every refinery set ablaze, on fire,

new missile attacks on thermal power

Sets the stage for sorrow, General Frost,

for their quickening death…
