BREAKING:

Transnistria officially calls on Russia to come to its aid amid “economic pressure” from Moldova

The breakaway republic organized a “congress of deputies of all levels" for the first time in 18 years to vote on it.

A lot of Moldovans like Russia and want to be part of it.

The Moldovan government is taking steps to save democracy there like eliminating freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, raiding opposition politicians’ offices, and disqualifying candidates it doesn’t like.

Sounds a lot like the Biden mal-administration.

Should we surveil them?

To save democracy?

Just like Spain has done forever to the Basques, the Irish to Northern Ireland, The Chinese to dozens of minorities, this is nothing new. States cannot simply allow themselves to break up into micronations unless an orderly process is followed. This is far from orderly, it's a Russian plot.

From what I read they have their own government, and their civil rights activities are questionable.

The dozen or more people I know from Moldova speak Romanian and consider Moldova to be a former part of Romania. Never heard them speak well of Russia.

It will become part of Russia when this is all over. Alexander Lebed’s final legacy I guess. The 14th Army was stationed there, and the local demographics were very different from the rest of Moldova. There was a large population of Russians and Ukrainians.

Moldova is being absorbed by Romania, as part of a mutual policy coordinated with Washington.

All I thought of when I saw the thread title is Bruce Willis yelling “MOLDOVA SUCKS!”

I think Moldova is the poorest country in Europe. They should put the Russian loving Transnistrians on busses and send them to Mother Russia. I think Transnistria means across the Dniester River. Creative naming for a province.

We'll call it the "how to get Moldova into NATO without actually having to do it" strategy.

Transnistria has been a Russian puppet and de-facto state for decades now. Russia is just trying to open up another front in the war and keep Moldova from being able to join the EU. Russia backed an unsuccessful coup attempt in Moldova last year.

400,000+ people live there, along with 1,500 Russ soldiers stationed there. The Moldovan govt recently passed new taxes and restrictions against this region. This has the potential to become HOT real quick.
