Russia, Ukraine: The Wisdom Of Zuma

 Dear Mr Zuma 

So glad you took time off from your literary endeavours to present us with a cogent, clear-eyed analysis of the current Russian peace initiative and the history behind it. 

Indeed, after reading your piece,  I felt as if I'd  just been blessed with a double dose of McCords Hospital's  Eye Division's special eyedrops. You know, the ones that make everything look clearer and brighter.

In a piece as dense and rich with logic and wisdom as a good fruitcake is with fruit and brandy, it's difficult to highlight specific nuggets. Sir, I'll give it my best shot.

Mr Putin, the man of peace has been tormented by Western warmongers and their running dogs for decades. They have now forced him into a position where he has no choice but to murder great numbers of people. And shell cities to smithereens. The cruel bastards. To force a man of peace into such a position.

The same dark (or pale?) Western forces were behind your redeployment to inKandla. I should think also behind Mr Mbeki"s redeployment. The Russians, faithful friends, have not forgotten. I believe that the letter Z on their war machines is a tribute to you. 'Remember Zuma'. Similar to 'Remember Stalingrad'.

You pointed out that the West has bombed many cities into ruins. Our Russian comrades are going through Ukraine as gingerly and gently as a herd of elephants in the Knysna forests. 

Sir, there's much more to chew, meditate and ruminate on in your seminal piece and I hope, like Schwarzenegger, to be back soon.

Yours in the struggle to pierce the propaganda veil and to cauterize the warts on the mottled face of history
