They are referring to Transnistria which is a breakaway region WITHIN Moldova that is under UN sanctioned Russian military control. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transnistria.

The Russians are saying that Ukraine is planning an attack on the area, which is effectively an attack on Moldova, but the Moldovan government has just been 'rearranged' and the new Moldovan leaders seems fine with Ukraine entering the area.

The Russians aren't going to attack Transnistria, they already control it, BUT if what the Russians are saying is true and Ukraine attacks, and Modova doesn't intervene, Russia might attack Moldova.

This is a serious escalation either way, because it is pulling more countries into the conflict.

Well said!

Russia is like the jealous ex-boyfriend who barely paid attention to you when you were dating, but now that you're broken up, doesn't like you dating other people, so they try to fuck with your life.

So, they aren't actually open to them. Fuck the Kremlin.

Because it:

• buys time
• causes attrition to both sides, but that attrition has a bigger effect on Russians long term due to logistics, domestic politics, and morale.

The MO prior to the counter offensives in Kharkiv and Kherson was to just bleed the Russians dry and survive long enough to exhaust the Russian ambitions for Kiev and the whole country.

Your small country is immensely wealthy and I'm sure the government can afford to subsidize everything behind the scenes.

Globe and Mail... so to muddy the waters around the liberal party and no one else.

China's influencing of canadian elections has been expansive and across the board, but lets focus a big scary headline on donations that were flagged and rejected because totes neutral media.

Wait so is Russia actually planning to attack Moldova?

So they are not open to talks.

Just keep picking increasingly smaller opponents until you find one you can beat?

So what I am hearing is that a brand new Rocky & Bullwinkle Show is in the works?

Fortunately, the west has a limitless supply of ammunition to supply Ukraine with.

Let's do it.

Well now they have another submarine! /s

Thank you. I thought I was going nuts. I've never seen a "d" in there before.

They probably can get it back. "winning" the war is more of a challenge, but i do think they can push them out of the whole Ukraine. Including Krim.

If anything I think Spain might just fund this idea. But probs only a ship or two though, you’d probs have to be pretty annoying (and a closet murderer).
