Those guilty Western pleasures –
stability, prosperity, and democracy –
a cartoon, a caricature.
A strategic asset,
a cover “offensive.”
Becomes what they call it.
A strong military in all its ugliness,
a strong and amicable Russia,
packed –
with an emotional wallop.
Derived from Foreign Affairs articles The West Should Arm Ukraine and Crime and Caricature
Out
of jail – keep him
resist
Nazi aggression –
like the rigors of
Curtiss Wright’s P-36 fighter.
The governing
Socialist Party of the United States
like rearmament – ideological stripes – needed.
American plane construction –
an economic and military
sense.
Derived from Foreign Affairs articles, Sarko’s Comeback and from the Archives, April 1966, Roosevelt as Friend of France
Not its ally –
three military conflicts,
50 diesel tank engines – swept
away
perhaps 200,000
people.
A future split – sudden
and total
collapse.
During a crisis – insufficient –
time within
memory.
From outside
Moscow – influences
welcomed
by Indian opinion.
Derived from An Uneasy Ménage à Trois and from the Foreign Affairs archives, July 1972, The Subcontinent: Ménage À Trois
In its own right –
shook with unrest
the army’s deployments –
their livelihoods – people,
Islamists, and moderates
alike – divided.
State and federal agencies
against
political activists and dissenters –
three different pots
on the stove.
Derived from Foreign Affairs articles: ISIS Enters Egypt and A Casa Divided.
Derived from Exit Music and Israel’s Tangled Democracy
Troops – to remain
longer – could not hold
together.
Ones he considered
loyal – during
the election – answered
No.
As senior partners in
government – entirely
without U.S. assistance –
troops –
who stayed past 2011 – remain
pessimistic – about
Palestinian intentions
for jeopardizing – Iraq’s future –
off the agenda.
Derived from Can Greenland Race Ahead and Partitions in Practice
Black pants and white anoraks – of
the Interior—remained unfilled.
Hotels for family
members – put Humpty Dumpty
back
together again.
Find new trading partners-
de facto recognition
of
seafood – a precedent
for military cooperation.
We must look forward –
for Iraq.
