The narrative has changed. Until recently, Putin was taking a beating. Now he’s taking over Europe.
Transnistria Is Moldova.
Transnistria in 3 days! Bring your parade uniforms!
Well they only “freely” join NATO after election interference to bring out a western desired outcome
But contra Western propaganda, I wouldn't be surprised if they want to join Russia, just as Crimea and the eastern oblasts in the Ukraine preferred contra Western wishful thinking.
What's really interesting about this - apparently no one has looked at a map. Transnistria is a narrow strip wedged between Moldova and the western boundary of the Ukraine. If the Ukraine made a significant effort they could overrun it, and I can't imagine how Russia could resupply it given the hostile NATO powers all around it. I would have thought the whole question of Transnistria better left unresolved until after the war, from a Russian perspective. Perhaps they now believe that is not far off?
Yeah, that’s exactly what the Putintards were saying right up to 21st February 2022.
Keep drinking the Kremlin’s knock-off kool aid.
NATO has an open door policy. Countries choose to walk in.
Russia has an open door policy for its neighbors. If 10% of a population is Russian and the country has stuff that Kleptorossya wants, Russia will drag it kicking and screaming thru the door.
Transnistria doesn’t have a seaport or a funtioning international airport good luck resupplying any rebellion. SQUISH!
This was made up out of thin air by one of DE MINIMUS’ standard “go to” propaganda sources.
If their people want to choose a leader who doesn’t want NATO and the west interferes in their (i.e. cheating to win) election to elect someone who will join NATO then, no, it’s a not free choice.
“82nd and 101st Airborne are in Romania and watching and waiting.”

Wow, ‘De Minimus’ is having yet another wet dream.
bkmk
He isn’t going to start anything anywhere else.
The Russian army is already in Transnistria and has been for some time. It’s not impossible to imagine the Russian majority of the region asking to be reabsorbed into Russia.
Right now, Transnistria is only a problem for Moldova, not the U.S. If they join Russia, why should we care, it’s not as if Russia is getting all that much from it. But if Moldova reunites with Romania, Transnistria becomes an issue for NATO and an issue for the U.S.
(Right now I’m imagining Biden angrily trying to pronounce ‘Transnistria’ while he is condemning ‘Putin’s kleptocracy’.)
Who, what are you talking about?
The Cobasna ammunition depot has been referred to as one of the largest[3] if not the largest ammunition depot in Eastern Europe[2] and contains up to 20,000 tons of Soviet-era weapons from the 14th Guards Army of the USSR and also from the former states of Czechoslovakia and East Germany. Currently, it is guarded by around 1,500 Russian soldiers.
Ukraine nor NATO has any rights to gets grubby hands on the ammo there.
