Actress AnnaLynne McCord is receiving criticism for her commentary on the crisis concerning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The "90210" star of the CW variety sent a tweet on Thursday that sees her recite a poem to Russian President Vladimir Putin in which she informs him of all the things she would have done "if I was your mother." "Dear President Vladimir Putin. I'm so sorry that I was not your mother," McCord begins in the self-shot video.

This week, amid overwhelming evidence that Russia would soon invade Ukraine, state-controlled Russian television network RT published an article on and aired a segment from Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight in which the show’s host pushed back on the idea that Vladimir Putin is someone Americans should dislike. What’s more, RT took the trouble of translating the clip into Russian, ostensibly for its domestic market.

AnnaLynne McCord‘s heart was in the right place with the message she posted in the early hours of Thursday (Feb. 24), but the results were still very unusual. “Dead President Vladimir Putin. I’m so sorry I was not your mother,” AnnaLynne, 34, said to the 69-year-old Russian politician. “If I was your mother, you would have been so loved, held in the arms of joyous light.” From there, judging by the awkward punctuation and rhyme scheme, AnnaLynne reads off a poem for Putin. “If I was your mother, the world would have been warm. So much laughter and joy. Nothing would harm. I can’t imagine the stain. The soul-stealing pain. That the little boy, you must have seen. And believed. As the formulation of thought quickly thought…”

Is this why you do not hide nor away shy from taking back the world."Was it because so early in life all that strife wracked your little body with fear."If i was your mother if the world was cold I’d have died to make you warm, I’d have died to protect you from the unjust, the violence, the terror, the uncertainty."I would have died to give you life."The 90210 star carried on reading: "Oh dear Mister President Putin, if only I had been your mother."Perhaps the torture of unwritten youth would not within your heart imbue ascription to such fealty against that world that you thought was so cruel."Perhaps you would hold dear human life and on this night instead of Mother Russia you would call me and I would set your mind quite free.
