A conversation purportedly between two Russian ambassadors was leaked online Friday, revealing the two officials joking about the next places they'd want to annex after Crimea. "We've got Crimea, but that's not fucking all folks," said Igor Chubarov, ambassador to Eritrea. "In the future we'll damn well take your Catalonia and Venice, and also Scotland and Alaska." Ambassador to Zimbabwe Sergei Bakharev then said Russia would take "all those fucking border countries" like Estonia, Romania, and Bulgaria. They also talk about taking "Miamiland" and "Londonland" because of all the Russians there.
