Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Putin on Pushy

Some Russians have for long lived there,
Though quite a small minority.
They became deemed by Putin bear
As part of his empire to be.
The region was a leaning West,
Very much a liberal mix.
If Putin could pull off this test,
He'd reign supreme in politics.
So Putin ordered troops into
The region to "protect" his own.
NATO's did whine as NATO's do,
But only whining words were thrown.

Putin pretends he's doing good,
Saving Russians in Hollywood.
