The agricultural trade war between Russia and the West is getting ugly. Associated Press reports on a major cheese bust by Russian authorities. If this were the US, the DEA (Dairy Enforcement Agency) would parade the seized cheese along with weapons and cash confiscated during the bust. In the New Soviet Union, the cheese will likely be re-sold by authorities with a new "Made in Russia" label.

North Korea is to push its clocks back by 30 minutes to show that it is finally free of Japanese imperialism. Korean time was set to Tokyo time by the Japanese who ruled from 1910-45. The change means that South Korea will now be on different time even though they are on the same longitude.
