A Political Albatross

In full repertoire, the Russian bear
Well-trained by West to swing and sway  
Hand on nuclear warheads
Who could dare?
Trapped in a bear hug, wicked men obey.
A coup d’état with paid actors 
Staged murders and military drills
Blunt threats and ultimatums 
A categorical denial about his involvement in the deal.
Plotting and deceiving are the tactics
Maybe the Western fish will take the bait
Count on the double-minded Kanzler
To give a hint, a sign to invade.
Simulate terror, suppress all rivals
Create spectacle and chaos, 
Seize power by distraction
Ukraine has become a political albatross.
