Submit posts (from anywhere) where people unknowingly describe themselves.

Specifically, someone who, when attempting to mock or denigrate their political opposition, accidentally describes themselves. They aren't self aware enough to notice. Or, alternatively, someone who accurately describes the world while trying to parody it.

I believe it is preferred to refer to the country as Ukraine (without the). There's no direct translation, but Russia refers to Ukraine (but not other countries) as if it were an internal territory of Russia. The way they refer to territories translates roughly to prefacing them with "the".
