Remember seeing the old Kremlin attacked?
Those drones flying close before getting whacked?
You can bet the Russkies are scratching their heads:
"Howinell they elude our wide radar spreads?"
And you can bet while their top people ponder,
Vlad P and company are squinting o'er yonder.
.
They're learning anew how far Biden will go
In his fight to death against Russian flambeau,
Overthrowing Kiev, blowing a gas pipeline,
Of diplomatic moves not cutting it too fine,
Now going after a head of state foreign,
Then denying that it's how we do warrin'.
.
Which is duly echoed by TV and rag:
"Why, this was surely a Russian false flag!
The fiendish cunning of those SVR creeps,
Making excuses for more U-bombing sweeps!"
Such is the advantage of controlling the press:
No need to account or your story finesse.
.
Controlling the press and opposition at will,
For nary a soul will for Vlad Putin shill,
Nor mention Prez Z is skimming off the top:
Try saying that and watch your cred fast go 'pop'.
They scrap o'er assault guns, mourn the debt ceiling,
But billions for U gives all a warm feeling.
.
LBJ and Nixon from their graves must drool:
No crabby reporters, no anti-war school,
Guys like Sy Hersch can to their heart's content write,
Investigate, accuse, expose left and right,
No papers will publish him, here or abroad;
Instead they deride him: a non-patriot fraud.
