The war in South Ossetia.

These "patriots" are already getting on my nerves; they think that the louder they shout about how they're going to kick everyone's ass, the more patriotic they become in the eyes of others. But when it comes to doing something useful, they're nowhere to be found. But, of course... Give me a cool weapon, and I'll fight for Russia! I suspect that when it actually comes down to it, their attitude will change somewhat. I'm not trying to delude myself about my own behavior in such situations.
