The Russian Bear, ever diligent in its campaign to destroy little Georgia despite various ceasefire agreements, prefers to start forest fires, with incendiaries dropped from helicopters, in the southern part of the country. Smokey would be appalled, as we all are. In Afghanistan they left brightly colored mines behind to attract and punish children. Brave Russians. So manly. At least they haven’t been reported to be doing that again. Yet.
UPDATE: Bad enough that they set the fires. Now they’re refusing to allow putting them out. The Soviet Union Russians, of course, claim innocence, all around. But don’t they always?
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Yep. So familiar.
