Ukraine. There once was an ancient nation Which slowly claimed an empire. Too big, too unwieldy, too costly; Then later giving the various parts their freedom. A leader reemerges from the past, with eyes on the past. Claiming historical 'right'; a brutal invasion occurs-- Basic murder and attrition. At this time of writing the outcome is unknown. Shall right prevail for the small nation, Or shall false claims prevail, Wrongly receiting 'history' on the other side? Frank Maurer 13 June 2024 0505 Hours.
