The ancients were wont to conceive… The seasons… As warring Gods… And Goddesses… Vying for precedence… In the earth sphere… An anthropomorphic projection… If ever there was one… But also comprehensible… Particularly, when spring tussles with winter… The outcome is always assured… It is just the timing that is at issue… All Ruskies are bad, apparently… But some Ruskies are less bad than others… This is the latest position adopted by our Clown Government… And their Joke Opposition… And it all stems back to the fall… Of the wall… Remember how that felt… Joyous, was it not?

And then… The authorities… Moved in… To level up the Ruskies… Specifically, we turned… To the Yanks… Who, instead of making the Ruskies democratic… Turned them into an oligarchy… So, just like them then… One can imagine the initial carve up!… And this blood-fest led to a number of the worst oligarchic factions being expelled from the all new set-up… And where did they land… When thus expelled?… Why, they landed here!… And immediately started pumping their ill gotten gains… Into so called legitimate concerns… Including amongst other things… Funding both sides of our government.

Marvellous… As I am sure you will agree… So, what we are now calling… The less bad Ruskies… Were for the bad Ruskies… So bad… They had to be expelled… From their own country… It is what might have been called… In olden times… A pretty pickle… It is easy enough to rectify… But do the good folks of this land have the stomach… For such an upheaval?… There have been encouraging signs of a new spring… In the unlikeliest of places… For awhile now… We can only hope that… The last vestiges of the cold, cruel, winter do not do for them before they can blossom… And release their fragrance.
