“Dear President Vladimir Putin, I’m so sorry that I was not your mother,” she begins.

“If I was a mother, you would have been so loved, held in the arms of joyous light. Never would this story’s plight, the world unfurled before our eyes, a pure demise of nation sitting peaceful under the night sky. If I was your mother, the world would have been warm,” she continues.

“So much laughter and joy and nothing would harm. I can’t imagine the stain, the soul-stealing pain that the little boy you must have seen and believed and the formulation of thought quickly taught that you lived in a cruel, unjust world,” she says.

“I can’t imagine how it feels in your heart, but I know if I was your mother, I would be a start.”

“This might be the worst tweet of all time. This alone should land you a spot in The Hague,” one user responded.

“Just sing ‘Imagine’ next time. It’s easier than whatever this is,” another said, referring to the similarly panned celebrity singalong amid the pandemic.

“This is not the time for such ridiculous shows of self indulgence,” added another.

“Jesus christ the self centeredness of this all is mind numbing,” wrote another user.
