Ukraine, welcome to Russia!
I wonder what excuse the Obamination will offer this time...
Viktor Ozerov
Zero’s opposite number?
If no Russian troops were present in Moldova’s Transnistira region, does anyone honestly think that the West would allow them to hold a referendum?
The West will aloow a majority Albanian referendum in Kosovo, despite this scuttling the territorial integirty of Serbia>
If Moldova used the same rational in primarily Russian areas of Moldova that was used in Kosovo, the West would say the exact opposite: NO.
And that is why we are in the mess we are in and will continue to be in.
We must have a consistent policy that is the same for everyone.
Trans-whatever wanting to rejoin Russia isn’t really surprising, as this is still unfinished business left over from the breakup of the Soviet Union. The Ethnic Slavs on the east side of the river didn’t care for the outlawing of Russian language and culture.
Moldova is the poorest country in Europe, as well, which puts an economic reason for the move, as well.
Romania wants Moldova to join NATO, too.
Russia needs to be “invited” in. Vladimir Putin avers his respect for international law.
And if eastern Ukraine doesn’t extend one? Sorry, dear fraternal brethren, our hands are tied. Its up to you to gain your freedom.
So the party that lost the election, then came to power in a violent coup, is now going to declare martial law to prevent the citizens from once again expressing their will at the polls ?
Hysterical.
