Nothing, my lord.
Nothing.
Nothing, my lord.
Nothing.
On 25 February.
A flurry of accurate.
‘Orcs’ drone strikes.
Knocked out.
Dozens of ‘elves’ vehicles.
Along the main road.
To Sudzha.
The town that is.
The town that is.
—or was—
The main base for.
The 10,000-strong ‘elves’ force.
Occupying a significant.
But quickly shrinking.
Salient in Kursk Oblast.
In western ‘Mordor’.
That was “the day.
You started worrying.
About Kursk.”
Wrote an analyst.
“It’s sad that.
It came to this.
But it is what it is.”
“But it is what it is.”
What, art mad?
A man may see
how this world goes
with no eyes.
Look with thine ears:
see how yond justice rails
upon yond simple thief.
Hark, in thine ear:
change places;
and, handy-dandy,
which is the justice,
which is the thief?
Two weeks later.
It seems the bulk of.
The ‘elves’ force.
Has evacuated Kursk.
—including some of.
The ‘elves’ army’s.
Heaviest brigades—
Has evacuated Kursk.
And repositioned.
And repositioned.
On the ‘elves’ side.
Of the border.
“My friends managed.
To leave Kursk.
Avoiding encirclement.”
One ‘elf’ claimed Monday.
What, art mad?
A man may see
how this world goes
with no eyes.
The ‘elves’ invaded.
Kursk in August.
And swiftly captured.
Hundreds of square miles.
They never managed to.
Secure a defensible lodgement.
On the far side of.
The Snahist River.
On the far side of.
The Snahist River.
On the western edge.
Of the salient, however.
Their efforts to extend.
The salient north was.
Complicated by.
‘Orcs’ counterattacks.
Complicated by.
‘Orcs’ counterattacks.
Around the village.
Of Pogrebki.
What, art mad?
A man may see
how this world goes
with no eyes.
Look with thine ears:
see how yond justice rails
upon yond simple thief.
Hark, in thine ear:
Efforts to extend.
East eventually.
Ran into 12,000.
North Korean soldiers.
Even as the ‘orcs’.
Massed forces and achieved.
A three-to-one advantage.
In troops.
In Kursk late last year.
The ‘elves’ held on.
—deploying mines, drones.
And artillery.
—deploying mines, drones.
And artillery.
To repeatedly repulse.
‘Orcs’ mechanized assaults.
What, art mad?
A man may see
how this world goes
with no eyes.
Look with thine ears:
see how yond justice rails
upon yond simple thief.
Hark, in thine ear:
change places;
and, handy-dandy,
which is the justice,
which is the thief?
A mid-February assault.
By the ‘orcs’.
155th Naval Infantry Brigade.
Was typical.
Confidently rolling.
Toward the ‘elves’.
47th Mechanized Brigades.
I n a long column.
I n a long column.
Of vehicles flying.
The red flag of.
The defunct Soviet Union.
The ‘orcs’ marines.
Blundered into.
Blundered into.
A preplanned kill zone.
Mines blew up.
Some of the ‘orcs’ vehicles.
Drones struck others and also.
Hounded the dismounted infantry.
One shell-shocked.
‘Orc’ crewman bailed out.
Of his damaged vehicle.
Trudged a few steps.
Through the snow.
Fell flat onto his back.
—and then exploded as.
A drone slammed into him.
“We are extinguishing.
All the enemy’s attempts.
To advance in Kursk.”
The 47th Mechanized Brigade crowed.
change places;
and, handy-dandy,
which is the justice,
which is the thief?
At the time.
‘Gandalf the Green’ still hoped.
To trade the Kursk salient.
Back to ‘Mordor’.
During possible future.
Ceasefire negotiations.
“We will swap ‘elves’ territory.
For ‘orcs’,” he said.
‘Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
But the ‘orcs’-aligned.
Administration of.
The U.S. President undermined.
‘Gandalf the Green’’s position.
By excluding.
‘Elves’ diplomats.
From initial.
U.S.-‘Mordor’ talks.
Nothing, my lord.
Nothing.
Nothing, my lord.
Nothing.
And on 28 February.
The U.S. President.
And his Vice President.
Berated ‘Gandalf the Green’.
Berated ‘Gandalf the Green’.
In the Oval Office.
Bizarrely accusing him of.
Being insufficiently grateful.
For past U.S. aid.
That was pledged by.
The previous administration.
—aid that.
The Vice President himself.
In his previous position.
As a U.S. senator.
Voted against.
‘Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
After the Oval Office clash.
The U.S. President.
Halted all.
U.S. aid to Ukraine.
And also froze.
And also froze.
Intelligence sharing.
Between the two countries.
Meanwhile.
An elite ‘orcs’ drone team.
—the Rubicon Center of.
Advanced Unmanned Systems—
Deployed in Kursk.
Soon, the wreckage of.
Hundreds of ‘elves’ vehicles.
Clogged the road into Sudzha.
‘Orcs’ warplanes targeted.
The bridges along the border.
Aiming to cut off.
The likeliest evacuation routes.

and, handy-dandy,
which is the justice,
which is the thief?
Yesterday, Gen..
Commander-in-chief.
Of ‘elves’ forces.
Assured ‘elves’.
“There are no threats.
Surrounding our units.
In the Kursk region.”
But Gen. didn’t promise.
But Gen. didn’t promise.
His troops would remain.
In Kursk.
Instead, “units are taking.”
“Timely measures.
To maneuver.
On the advantageous border.
Of defense,” was announced.
What, art mad?
A man may see
how this world goes
with no eyes.
Look with thine ears:
see how yond justice rails
upon yond simple thief.
Hark, in thine ear:
change places;
and, handy-dandy,
which is the justice,
which is the thief?
That may imply.
‘Elves’ brigades are.
Leaving Kursk.
And giving up.
Much of the terrain.
‘Gandalf the Green’ hoped.
To trade back.
To ‘Mordor’.
In exchange for.
A favorable ceasefire.
In exchange for.
A favorable ceasefire.
Nothing, my lord.
Nothing.
Nothing, my lord.
Nothing.
*Because I read “Retreat! Ukrainian Brigades Appear To Be Evacuating Kursk.” by David Axe on 11 Mar 2025 on the Forbes, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022, on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem, led by ‘KING LEAR’ written by William Shakespeare and ‘THROUGH the LOOKING-GLASS’ written by Lewis Carroll, you know.
