#2 When do the bullets start flying and/or the politicians start swinging?

Any chance the EU gets involved?

#4 Does anyone else think the Spanish are engineering a backfire?

If you wanted to ensure Catalonia exits I'd do exactly what they're doing.

Also, the EUSSR has demonstrated their continuing incompetence.

#5 Catalonia provides a very large portion of tax revenue to Madrid. I think it was something like 20%, so I getting them to leave is... unlikely. It's much more logical they just panicked.
