This makes a .lot of sense. It is the least defended Russian controlled territory next to Ukraine.
Seizing it will remove a threat to the rear, and secure a large supply of weapons and weapons factories.
It only make sense to the reckless neocons who wish to push for an expansion of this war beyond Ukraine’s borders. Apparently you are looking forward to the involvement of American troops into this mess.
Do you really think “sense” is what anyone is trying to make in this situation? By contrast, the chances are strong that the notion of Russia being denied long term territorial gains, much less being repulsed or repelled and sent back to the motherland howling in pain (like Saddam Hussein in 1991 being sent back to Baghdad with his tail between his legs) is a mere fantasy, a temporary cover story to justify juicing the U.S. defense industry with untold $billions, even $trillions.
Transie is a left over tumor of the USSR — they still have statues up for Lenin. Let Uk invade — and they will be at war with Moldovia — and the left over fringe elements of the area’s Mafia.
Ooh. Mebbe the goons in Transie will off Zelynsky and make the world a better place.
“Russia controlled.”
It’s Moldova.
If you are looking to provoke a much wider conflict then, yeah, it “makes sense.”
