She is a curious country,

Once a great cause is presented

The man is marking.
His first foreign visit.
As the UK Prime Minister.
With a trip to Kyiv.

Blueprints so.
Ukraine can build.
Its own long-range missiles.

Far back, through creeks and inlets making,

He will announce.
His government has agreed.
To allow defence company MBDA.
To declassify information.
On UK components.
For the long-range.
Scalp missile.

Of the UK’s Storm Shadow.

And not by eastern windows only,
When daylight comes, comes in the light:
In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly!
But westward, look, the land is bright.”

By the Kremlin spokesman.
Who said it prevented.

‘Yes, all his horses
and all his men,’
Humpty Dumpty went on.
‘They’d pick me up again
in a minute, they would!
However, this conversation
is going on a little too fast:
let’s go back to the last remark but one.’
He told reporters.
On Monday that.
The ‘orcs’ military was.
Already gathering data.
To locate.
Any missile production sites.
To destroy them.
To destroy them.
‘Why do you sit out here
all alone?’ said Alice,
not wishing to begin
an argument.
‘Why, because there’s nobody
with me!’ cried Humpty Dumpty.
‘Did you think I didn’t know
the answer to that? Ask another.’
“Britain is involved.
In this war.
On the side of.
The Kyiv regime.”
“Britain methodically.
And regularly adds.
Fuel to the fire.”
He added.
‘Don’t you think you’d be safer
Down on the ground?’
Alice went on,
not with any idea of
making another riddle,
but simply in her good-natured
anxiety for the queer creature.
‘That wall is so very narrow!’
The UK prime minister.
Will be reaffirming.
The UK’s backing.
For Kyiv.
In the wake of.
Escalating ‘orcs’ strikes.
On Ukraine.
In recent weeks.
– including one on.
A shopping centre.
On Friday that killed.
At least 16 people.
‘What tremendously easy
Riddles you ask!’
Humpty Dumpty growled out.
‘Of course I don’t think so!
Why, if ever
I did fall off
– which there’ no chance of –
but if I did –’
On Monday morning.
The UK prime minister laid.
Flowers at the graves.
Of ‘elves’ soldiers.
Flowers at the graves.
Of ‘elves’ soldiers.
During a service at.
The National Military Memorial Cemetery.
Here he pursed up his lips
and looked so solemn and grand
that Alice could hardly
help laughing.
‘If I did fall,’
he went on,
‘the King has promised me –
ah, you may turn pale, if you like!
He is also set.
To accept an award.
On behalf of.
The British people.
Recognising the UK’s support.
For Ukraine and.
To take part in.
Independence day events.
You didn’t think I was
going to say that, did you?
The King has promised me
– with his very own mouth – to – to –‘
‘To send all his horses
and all his men,’
Alice interrupted,
rather unwisely.
Ahead of his visit.
On Monday.
The UK prime minister said:
“On ‘elves’ 35th anniversary.”
“On ‘elves’ 35th anniversary.
Of independence.
The ‘elves’ people should be.
In no doubt:”
“The UK is behind you.
Today and for.
As long as it takes.”
“The UK is behind you.”
‘Now I declare
that’s too bad!’
Humpty Dumpty cried,
breaking into a sudden passion.
‘You’ve been listening at doors
– and behind trees
– and down chimneys
– or you couldn’t have know it!’
“I am proud of.
The contribution.
Our country has made.
To Ukraine.”
“And I want the ‘elves’ people.
To hear it directly.
From me that.
Our support will not waver.”
“After all.
‘Elves’ security is.
Our security.”
Our security.”
‘I haven’t, indeed!’
Alice said very gently.
‘It’s in a book.’
‘Ah, well! They may write
such things in a book,’
Humpty Dumpty said in a calmer tone.
‘That’s what you call
a History of England, that is.
He said the friendship.
Ukraine shared with the UK.
Would “long outlast.
‘Orcs’ illegal war”, adding:
“‘Mordor’ should be.
In no doubt of our resolve.
We will not back down until.
There is a just and lasting peace.”
Now, take a good look at me!
I’m one that has spoken
to a King, I am:
mayhap you’ll never see such another:
and to show you I’m not proud,
you make shake hands with me!’
And he grinned
almost from ear to ear,
It comes after.
Moscow warned of.
“Consequences” over.
The use of.
British drones by Ukraine.
In its recent ramping up.
Of strikes.
On ‘orcs’ infrastructure.
as he leant forwards
(and as nearly as possible
fell off the wall
in doing so)
and offered Alice his hand.
She watched him
a little anxiously
as she took it.
Kyiv has stepped up.
Long-range attacks.
On Moscow and.
Other ‘orcs’ regions.
Targeting oil refineries.
And warehouses of.
The country’s largest.
Online retailer, Wildberries.
‘If he smiled much more,
the ends of his mouth
might meet behind,’
she thought:
‘and then I don’t know
what would happen to his head!
I’m afraid
it would come off!’
The long-range Scalp missile.
Weighs 1,300kg.
And is 16.7ft.
In length.
It is capable of.
Hitting targets.
Around 150 miles.
Into ‘Mordor’.
– not as far as ‘elves’.
Deep strike drone capability.
But it is a significant step.
But it is a significant step.
In showing the willingness.
In showing the willingness.
Of international partners.
To share weapons technology.
‘Yes, all his horses
and all his men,’
Humpty Dumpty went on.
‘They’d pick me up again
in a minute, they would!
However, this conversation
is going on a little too fast:
let’s go back to the last remark but one.’
The maker describes.
Them as designed.
To hit pre-planned.
Stationary targets.
It can be used.
Day and night.
In all weather, and.
Has advanced navigation systems.
‘Why do you sit out here
all alone?’ said Alice,
not wishing to begin
an argument.
‘Why, because there’s nobody
with me!’ cried Humpty Dumpty.
‘Did you think I didn’t know
the answer to that? Ask another.’
MBDA adds that.
It is in service.
It is in service.
With the Royal Air Force.
The French Air Force.
Italian Air Force and.
Has been used in Iraq.
Syria and Libya.
‘Don’t you think you’d be safer
Down on the ground?’
Alice went on,
not with any idea of
making another riddle,
but simply in her good-natured
anxiety for the queer creature.
‘That wall is so very narrow!’
Ukraine hopes.
Ukraine hopes.
It can also be given more.
Patriot interceptor missiles.
With ‘Gandalf the Green’ again.
Asking for more of the weapon.
Which are used to combat.
‘Orcs’ ballistic missiles.
‘What tremendously easy
Riddles you ask!’
Humpty Dumpty growled out.
‘Of course I don’t think so!
Why, if ever
I did fall off
– which there’ no chance of –
but if I did –’
On Sunday.
He said they have requested.
360 of the missiles.
But are “working with countries.”
But are “working with countries.
On additional options”.
Ukraine has been relying on.
Ukraine has been relying on.
American supplies.
Of the Patriots.
But its stockpiles.
Are running low.
Due to the war in Iran.
Leaving Ukraine.
Vulnerable to.
‘Orcs’ attacks.
Here he pursed up his lips
and looked so solemn and grand
that Alice could hardly
help laughing.
‘If I did fall,’
he went on,
‘the King has promised me –
ah, you may turn pale, if you like!
While the Scalp missile.
Does not intercept.
Enemy attacks.
Like the Patriots.
The UK Defence Minister said.
They were sharing.
Its blueprints.
Its blueprints.
So Ukraine could “defend.
Against this illegal invasion.
That’s now killed.
So many people”.
You didn’t think I was
going to say that, did you?
The King has promised me
– with his very own mouth – to – to –‘
‘To send all his horses
and all his men,’
Alice interrupted,
rather unwisely.
“It’s not just.
The front lines.
It’s shopping centres.
It’s housing.”
“That’s being targeted.
By ‘orcs’.
In their illegal war.
And that’s why we have said.”
“And we will continue.
To make sure our actions.
Follow it that we will support.
Ukraine for as long as it takes.”
‘Now I declare
that’s too bad!’
Humpty Dumpty cried,
breaking into a sudden passion.
‘You’ve been listening at doors
– and behind trees
– and down chimneys
– or you couldn’t have know it!’
He said Ukraine is.
In need of.
A variety of weapons.
Which is why the UK is.
Supplying other air defence assets.
To take down.
‘Orcs’ cruise missiles.
And counter-drone measures.
‘I haven’t, indeed!’
Alice said very gently.
‘It’s in a book.’
‘Ah, well! They may write
such things in a book,’
Humpty Dumpty said in a calmer tone.
‘That’s what you call
a History of England, that is.
The ‘orcs’ embassy.
In the UK.
Has accused Britain of.
“Deliberately opting.”
“Deliberately opting.
For an escalation.
Of the Ukraine crisis”.
Saying “the deeper.”
“Its involvement.
In the conflict…
The higher.
The price it will pay”.
Now, take a good look at me!
I’m one that has spoken
to a King, I am:
mayhap you’ll never see such another:
and to show you I’m not proud,
you make shake hands with me!’
And he grinned
almost from ear to ear,
In response.
In response.
The UK Prime Minister.
Said last week:
“We are not fair-weather friends.
We will be there.
In ‘elves’ hour of need.
And that won’t change.”
as he leant forwards
(and as nearly as possible
fell off the wall
in doing so)
and offered Alice his hand.
She watched him
a little anxiously
as she took it.
Asked on Tuesday.
About the ‘orcs’ threat.
The UK Prime Minister maintained.
The UK was “providing support.”
“So that Ukraine can.
Defend itself and.
That’s been the British position.
All the way.”
“Through this conflict.
By previous prime ministers.
– it remains.
The case with me”.
‘If he smiled much more,
the ends of his mouth
might meet behind,’
she thought:
‘and then I don’t know
what would happen to his head!
I’m afraid
it would come off!’
The visit comes.
As ‘Mordor’ confirmed.
Its ambassador.
To the UK.
Had left his post.
Had left his post.
In London.
In recent weeks.
‘Yes, all his horses
and all his men,’
Humpty Dumpty went on.
‘They’d pick me up again
in a minute, they would!
However, this conversation
is going on a little too fast:
let’s go back to the last remark but one.’
The Kremlin is yet.
To put forward a replacement.
But ‘Mordor’’s embassy.
To the UK said.
It did not reflect.
An intention to downgrade.
Diplomatic relations.
Between the two nations.
“For while the tired waves, vainly breaking,
Seem here no painful inch to gain,
Far back, through creeks and inlets making,
Comes silent, flooding in, the main.
Deadly exchanges.
Between ‘Mordor’.
and Ukraine.
Continued overnight.
With two children killed.
And seven injured.
When ‘elves’ drone debris hit.
A private children’s centre.
In ‘Mordor’.
Local authorities say.
A warehouse belonging to.
Online retailer Ozon.
Was also set on fire.
Two days after Ukraine said.
It would target.
It would target.
The company for selling.
Dual use items.
That could be used.
By the military.
And not by eastern windows only,
When daylight comes, comes in the light:
In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly!
But westward, look, the land is bright.”
It was at the third night.
In the row that.
Ozon’s warehouses.
Had been targeted.
With the company confirming.
On Saturday that.
A logistics centre.
In the Samara region.
Had been hit.
And a warehouse.
In Orenburg.
On Sunday.
Three people were also killed.
In an ‘orcs’ attack.
On the north-eastern.
‘Elves’ city of Kharkiv.
all kinds of unexpected actions
might be taken
by this very Government and
by the British nation.”
And I repeated,
And I repeated,
“Do not underrate England.
She is very clever.
If you plunge us all
into another Great War
she will bring the whole world
against you, like last time.”

*Because I read “Burnham to hand long-range missile blueprints to Zelensky as he visits Kyiv” by Henry Mooreand & Imogen James on 24 Aug 2026, 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 words by himself in the part of ‘CHAPTER X THE LOADED PAUSE, 1936-1938’ of ‘BOOK I MILESTONES TO DISASTER 1919–May 10, 1940’ and “some lines” quoted in the last part of ‘CHAPTER XVIII YUGOSLAVIA AND GREECE’ of ‘BOOK II ALONE May 10, 1940–June 22, 1941’ both in ‘The Second World War: The Classic One-Volume Abridgment’ written by Winston S.
