Beware the Hungry Wolf


There, another jolt to the global consciousness.

Not the first, not the last, repeated in sly

indirect notices, and on occasion brought out

anew in harsh measure. The man who might

teach Machiavelli the dark art of instilling

unease and a haunting fear in the world body

not merely restricted to Eastern Europe has yet

again issued that sobering reminder of a well

stocked arsenal of deadly nuclear weapons. His

to dangle dangerously before the incredulous

eyes of disbelieving world leaders. The message

simple enough. They will be used should his

country's security ever be endangered. No one

tampers with the sovereign agency of Russia.

The sovereign autonomy and security of Russia's

neighbours on the other hand are Vladimir Putin's

for the taking and his territorial ambitions exceed

a mere few Baltic nations; he pines for the glory

of a time now past when tentacled satellites 

cringed whenever the Kremlin flexed its power.
