The Russians are saying that Ukraine is preparing to move forces into Transnistria, to force a response from Russia, and a escalate a response from NATO

Any comments on that?

Don’t worry, it will be like the mostly peaceful Ukrainian coup.

Putin would be fool to try it. His IL-76 tranports would be flying ducks. And the Moldova airport is in Ukrainian HIMARS range.

Maybe Biden should visit the capital of Moldova, and drop $500 million there. That might help.

Side note to the Moldavians:

Please have a fake air raid alert ready for Mr. Biden’s visit. He likes fake air raids. Oh, and keep young girls far away from him. Trust me on that.

Vladimir Putin is plotting to take the capital city and use its airport to open a western front the war in Ukraine.

Yeah, because that worked out so well for the Russians at Hostomel (Antonov) Airport. That was a disaster for the Russian army.

That, I think, is why Putin is not "plotting" it. Even now, Moldova is being boosted by the West.

I'd prefer non-involvement on our part, Moldova is NOT part of NATO... But I think the West would respond if this happens. Then, the balloons goes up...

Destabilizing a democratically elected government. Now where have I seen that before?

The Biden regime is 100% reationary (always reacting to events) and never proactively cutting off the prospect of events.

Scholars have characterized Moldova as an ‘unstable democracy with systemic corruption ‘....and a deep cleavage regarding national identity. The Economist Intelligence Unit rated Moldova a “flawed democracy” in 2022.

The Soviet Union loves to arrange scenarios where a country ‘asks’ for help, which then, they say, justifies the USSR entering the country. The USSR either installs a puppet leader, or compromises the current leader. A few days after the initial invasion, some paperwork is backdated to ‘document’ that the country ‘asked’ for help.
