Surprised no one has posted this yet.
It's pretty lolz worthy but the reason I posted it in the politics section is to ask for opinions on the issue the fight broke out about. Basically the Russians are trying to extend a lease on a naval base in the Ukraine on the black sea, and the issue is over the divide in the country on negative or positive thoughts about Russia. It seems that half of their country seems to think that when the were a satellite of the USSR it was the 'good ol days' but the other half think that seeing as they are their own country they should cut ties with the negative connotations of Russia's past.
Needless to say Eastern European politics are very interesting and volatile, and I know a few of you living in that area will have some strong opinions, as well as Potshot.
Here's the link with the story and the video:
