#FICTION: "Ukrainians Invade The Russian River, Cite 'Off-Shore Balancing'"

It was an overcast day in Healdsburg, and no one seemed to care. The memory of the record heat last summer was still in the minds of the whole household as they were one of the only families left without air conditioning. No one saw the periscope or the fishing boat lurking about in a popular fishing spot in the Russian River.

"Open and notorious, that's what they are," an old, stodgy local exclaimed.

"Outlaws?"

"Many are, but they are working around some difficulties. Ever hear about social engineering?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"Some say the Republicans let in the Soviet Jews to offset the LA Gangs who were ransaking and terrifying Los Angeles."

"Tall tales."

"Diversity is a tall tale?"

"We need tall ones too.  Alexander Belov."

"He was Russian."

"Are you sure?"

"He played for Russia. 1972 or 1976?"

Some of the biggest black players' reputations had been destroyed: Rodney King, hooked on drugs like an aborted baby, O.J. Simpson, Bill Cosby; Mohammad Ali left a legacy. Ali designed his destiny, based on his foes. So do we.

"Ukrainian Power" the sign read, as the annual Armenian Genocide marchers filled the streets of West LA.

"Not everyone can be #MuhammadAli" I thought to myself driving by.  He beat Frazier.  He beat Frazier twice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ali #MichaelMann is White.

Fiction: #UkrainiansInvadeTheRussianRiver, cite "#offshorebalancing" #TheRussiansAreComingTheRussiansAreComing (Jewison, 1966).
