Yup, its stretching any sensible understanding of geography beyond conventional political boundaries. I guess they're using the Bosporus/Urals definition. I guess if its OK for Eurovision then its OK for Bernie - they're very similar showbiz bandwagons.

Nothing like going to a country where the President won 73% of the vote.. Note: The results were accidently leaked to the press a day before anyone voted. :lol:

I would love to visit a race in Cuba, but the Castro brothers would rather use their resources to educate or provide healthcare for Cuba's population rather than to line Bernie's pockets.... those "bastards"
