For some reason I found this old poster advertising galoshes to be quite appropriate for the current "gas war," since it reflects at least a couple of factors exacerbating the crisis - Russia's glee at possessing something Europe needs, and Russia's concurrent need for others to recognize the degree to which it is needed.

This comes via the fascinating Strange Maps blog, which I found thanks to Opinio Juris.
