Moldova, Under Pressure From Russia’s War on Ukraine, Fears It Could Be Next
Disturbing news about the independance of Molodova recently. Will the country be next on the Russian's list?
Quote:
Nervousness in the capital of Chisinau is tangible, from ministries to the streets, that this country of 2.6 million people could be the next flashpoint in Russia’s bid to overturn Europe’s post-Cold War order.
Moldova’s pro-Western leaders are facing public discontent over economic pain largely caused by Russia choking off natural-gas supplies last year. Russia already has a grip on Moldova’s eastern Transnistria region, where it stations troops and backs separatist rebels. The Kremlin on Tuesday revoked a decree that had committed Russia to a settlement in Transnistria that respected Moldova’s territorial integrity.
Moscow’s strategy in Moldova, one of Europe’s poorest countries, has centered on provoking an economic crisis by cutting off natural gas supply—and then exploiting the political fallout. The government in Chisinau has stuck to its pro-Western course, but growing popular pressure forced a leadership reshuffle last week.

Does Russia have even one tank that hasn't been destroyed and one general that hasn't been killed by heroic Ukrainians left at this point to embark on such a campaign?
If they could mobilize all their draft dodgers that are hiding out here in Thailand, they might have a shot.
(Note for idiots: Yes, I was being sarcastic.)
