The Russian beast is flexing its muscles. It is spreading its wings to see how much room it is given. It is testing the corners and the barriers.
The beast is watching the reactions of its enemies. It is summing up their ways. He knows where he is given allowances.
The beast will rise and crush the necks of his adversary. They shall pall in surprise for he will gather strength in a region where he is not expected. His tail will be tethered so that he does not completely annihilate the world, but his wings will span continents.
Many will scamper away like mice in the field. They will be no match for him.
But the Eastern Dragon will nick its neck to subdue him.
