1. The second to last line is as awful in its truth as it is poetic

"The only plus side of this entire thing is that those who nostalgically yearn for the USSR will get to experience all of its glories for themselves."

Too bad it doesn't apply to the GQP and their MAGAt cult members as well.

Feared? Yes. Like you fear a rabid dog

But hated and despised, and looked on with pity and disgust

They need to kill Putin.
