Good spot! Yes, Crimea.

One can't help but marvel at the fuckwittery it must take to blame the EU for this.

>" 'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party." Yep! This is exactly the kind of sentiment I was talking about.

And in what conceivable way is it not justified? "Project Fear" was always "Project Reality". It's just that reality is now biting for the people who voted for the leopards to eat their faces.
