I've often for many years thought of that
Seinfeld episode when Ukraine is in the news.
My favorite line is earlier where Kramer and Newman are playing Risk, and Newman has to leave, and not trusting each other, they leave the game board in "a neutral place", in Seinfeld's apartment, until they can meet to finish it later.
Elaine comes over, looks at the gameboard and says "Hey, what's this?"
Seinfeld answers. "Oh, that's Risk. It's a game of global domination being played by two guys who can barely run their own lives."
