Some of you have probably been following the border dispute between Ukraine and Russia over the protective dike the Russians are building near Tuzla. Most of you probably aren't. But you probably DO know within which continent Ukraine resides, a distinction most Americans cannot claim. Anyway. For an overview of the situation, check out this VOA article. For a juicier and more polemical read, turn to the Moscow Times' look at Tuzla and Greater Russia.
It seems that the Ukrainian and Moskali civilians are having a war of their own via the internet. Either that or someone simply has way too much free time on his hands. My good buddy in Warsaw, infamous here at Le Sabot as The Liberal Media, was kind enough to send me some great propaganda pieces:
Peoples of the Entire World. . . Help with the Dam!
Be careful, the doors are closing. Next station is Simferopl.
Not a gram of fat to the Muscovites!
Russians! Let's Defend Tuzla from the Ukrainian Defenders!
Gotta go with "Tuzla Wars."
