Well, we knew the Ukraine was the test ground. The message has been received.

Russia is tossing it’s weight around like a tubby 165 pound third grader. It makes you wonder what is going on domestically for the leadership to find the need to misdirect the attention away.

This isn’t an act of war on Moldova’s part. It’s an international incident at worst, and a ho hum moment otherwise.

Now Russia is going to punish Moldova? What an insecure childish leadership they have in Moscow these days.

“Now Russia is going to punish Moldova?”

Russia has plenty of leverage to use against a tiny state like Moldova.

The gas valve, and independence for Trans-Whatever. If Russia decides to give them the same status as Kalliningrad, there isn’t a damn thing the Moldovans can do about it.

And it sits astride the only international trade route that Moldova has with the rest of the world.
