terminology

[Rydel]

Yet another linguistic pearl. Overheard on Euronews
last night, reporting on the recent suicide bomber in
Israel: [among the victims were] "...thirteen girls,
five boys and one Ukrainian tourist."  I guess
Ukrainians will be thrilled to find out that they
represent a third yet undiscovered sex. :-)

If you go now to europe.cnn.com site and look at the
"quick vote" (located
near the bottom of the page), you'll see the following
text: "Should Russian
and European countries support the U.S. missile
defense system if they are
able to sell components for it? Yes/No"
I have a question: what the heck is meant by "Russian countries"???
