Need Compass Comrade?
I’d fire the lot of ’em if I were their boss,
But maybe the Russian border is more confusing than most.
Why else would Putin explain
The incursion in Ukraine,
By saying, “A thousand Russian troops and tanks kind of … got lost.”
Biden to Putin: ‘You Have No Soul’
Mr. Prime Minister, I’m looking into your eyes, and I don’t think you have a soul.

Putin Swipes Back at Clinton
It’s better not to argue with women. But Ms. Clinton has never been too graceful in her statements.
— Russian President Vladimir Putin, taking “a swing at former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, responding particularly to remarks she made earlier this year in which she compared Russia’s tactics to Adolf Hitler’s in the 1930s,” ABC News reports.
Rushin’ the Web
Vladimir Putin’s drive to recreate the USSR ain’t over yet.
To those who say get out of Ukraine, he says “Nyet!”

Keep an eye on sly Vlad —

So Putin invades Crimea and whatever else he wants to do.
But Obama’s moving slow,
Taught by “The Big Lebowski,” he knows:
“Some days you et the bar and some days the bar ets you.”

But I’m not sure they deserve such violent attacks.

Such an esoteric corrective —
Being beaten with horsewhips … by Cossacks.
Screw You, E.U.!
Looks like Moscow’s up to its old tricks again,
Trying to split the U.S. and Europe over Ukraine.
Somehow they recorded it,
And Nuland really said it.
We heard her say, “F**k the E.U.” clear and plain.
Russian to Judgement
The Sochi Olympics are almost here,
But if you go, you’d better not act queer.
Seems that the Russians
Are serious about gay-bashin’
‘Cause their homophobia starts with Comrade Vladimir.
