How They Must Love Their Wars!
Why do we quadruple spending
On U.S.-NATO forces near
Russia's borders, which only evokes
Cold war memories of yesteryear?
Such posturing and saber rattling
To prevent Russia from "pulling a fast one"
Makes a renewed cold war
More dangerous than the last one.
The move also undermines
Ongoing negotiations
Between the United States and Russia
And hurts diplomatic relations.
It's crazy that in this volatile world
Our hawkish leaders continue to pour
Money and resources into arrangements
That could easily lead us to war.
