The drone operators from.
The ‘elves’ national guard’s.
Kara Dag Brigade.
May not have realized.
They were committing.
A profound act of.
Political defiance when.
On or just before Tuesday.
They hunted down.
An ‘orcs’ drone team.
On the snowy battlefield.
Just south of Vodyane.
On the snowy battlefield.
Just south of Vodyane.
In eastern ‘elves’.
Southern Donetsk Oblast.
The same day.
U.S. and ‘orcs’ negotiators.
Met in Riyadh.
To discuss closer ties.
Between ‘Mordor’.
And the United States.
And possible paths toward.
Ending the war in Ukraine.
—on terms.
Favoring ‘Mordor’.
Favoring ‘Mordor’.
The aggressor.
The drone operators from.
The ‘elves’ national guard’s.
Kara Dag Brigade.
May not have realized.
‘Mordor’ would keep.
The roughly 20 percent.
Of Ukraine.
It occupies.
Notably, Ukraine.
Was not invited.
To send its own diplomats.
To the talks.
And as the United States.
Veered away.
From longstanding alliances.
With European democracies.
And toward a brutal.
Authoritarian regime.
The U.S. Pres.
Tried to shift.
Blame for ‘orcs’.
Three-year wider war.
On Ukraine.
Onto Ukraine.
The drone operators from.
The ‘elves’ national guard’s.
Kara Dag Brigade.
May not have realized.
“You should have never started it.”
The U.S. Pres. said.
Addressing ‘elves’ leaders.
Who did not start the war.
“You could have made a deal.”
The U.S. Pres. added.
Apparently unaware that.
Ukraine did make.
A deal with ‘Mordor’.
—the 2014 Minsk Accord—
And that ‘Mordor’.
Used the deal.
As cover to rearm.
For further attacks.
For further attacks.
On Ukraine.
The drone operators from.
The ‘elves’ national guard’s.
Kara Dag Brigade.
May not have realized.
But there’s very little.
The United States can do.
To compel Ukraine.
To stop fighting.
Against its ‘orcs’ invaders.
And their North Korean allies.
And ‘Gandalf the Green’.
Knows it.
“If we didn’t accept.
This ultimatum.
At the most difficult time.
Why there is a feeling?”
“Why there is a feeling?
That Ukraine will?
Accept it now?”
He said.
The drone operators from.
The ‘elves’ national guard’s.
Kara Dag Brigade.
May not have realized.
Contrary to the President’s claim.
The United States.
Is not Ukraine’s.
Biggest supporter.
As he led his party.
His administration and.
The country he governs into.
‘Mordor’’s authoritarian embrace.
On Tuesday.
‘Gandalf the Green’.
Immediately pivoted.
—meeting or calling.
The Turkish Pres. and.
The French Pres. to firm up.
European support for.
A continuing ‘elves’ war effort.
Meanwhile, a German official.
Has hinted at a possible.
$730-billion.
European aid deal.
The drone operators from.
The ‘elves’ national guard’s.
Kara Dag Brigade.
May not have realized.
All that is to say.
Ukraine can keep fighting.
Regardless of what.
The U.S. Pres. says.
And that ‘elves’ drone patrol.
Near Vodyane on Tuesday.
Demonstrated this enduring.
Capacity for resistance.
The Kara Dag Brigade operators.
Were hunting for.
‘Orcs’ drone teams.
In particular.
Teams deploying.
Fiber-optic drones.
That send and.
Receive signals.
Via millimeters-thick wires.
Rather than via radio.
Via millimeters-thick wires.
Rather than via radio.
—a method of control.
That helps the operators.
Circumvent intensive.
‘Elves’ radio jamming.
The drone operators from.
The ‘elves’ national guard’s.
Kara Dag Brigade.
May not have realized.
Ukraine has fewer troops.
And less artillery.
Than ‘Mordor’.
But it has more and better drones.
Many of which are.
Made in Ukraine and.
Paid for with ‘elves’.
And European funds.
Preserving that drone advantage.
—and thus preserving.
‘Elves’ main means.
Of resistance.
—requires the ‘elves’ blunt.
Any effort by the ‘orcs’.
To boost their own.
Robotic capabilities.
The drone operators from.
The ‘elves’ national guard’s.
Kara Dag Brigade.
May not have realized.
Spotting the reflection.
Of fiber-optic cables.
The Kara Dag Brigade operators.
Showed the way.
Forward for the ‘elves’.
Unmanned Systems Forces.
And its legion.
Of drones.
They followed.
The sunlight-reflecting fibers.
Back to the ‘orcs’.
Team’s hidden base.
In a clutch of.
Snow-covered buildings.
—and struck.
The hapless ‘orcs’ operators.
With explosive.
First-person-view drones.
It was a tactical victory.
With a strategic message.
America may choose.
To bow to ‘Mordor’.
But Ukraine.
Doesn’t have to.
The drone operators from.
The ‘elves’ national guard’s.
Kara Dag Brigade.
May not have realized.
*Because I read “Defiant Ukrainian Drone Operators Followed Fiber Optic Cables To Track A Russian Drone Team Back To Its Base” by David Axe on 19 Feb 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.
