U.S. intelligence officials have determined that people with ties to Russian intelligence are planning to stage protests in hopes of toppling the Moldovan government, according to the White House.
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the intelligence shows that actors, some connected with Russian intelligence, are seeking to stage and use protests in Moldova as a basis to foment an insurrection against Moldova’s new pro-Western government.
Kirby said the intelligence shows that another set of Russian actors would provide training and help manufacture demonstrations in Moldova, which was granted European Union candidate status in June, on the same day as Ukraine, its war-torn neighbor.
The publicizing of the alleged malign operation by Moscow in Moldova is just the latest example of the Biden administration loosening restrictions on and making public intelligence findings over the course of the grinding war in Ukraine. The administration has said it wants to highlight plans for Russian misinformation and other activity so allies remain clear-eyed about Moscow’s intent and Russia thinks twice before carrying out an operation.
“As Moldova continues to integrate with Europe, we believe Russia is pursuing options to weaken the Moldovan government probably with the eventual goal of seeing a more Russian- friendly administration in the capital,” Kirby said.

She is a pig in every sense of the word.
I agree.
Bkmk
She looks like Miss Piggy in that pic. Oh how I despise that evil woman.
Russia imports Russians for pro-Russian protests in Moldova to revolt against the current government with the message that “only Russia can help us”.
Surrealism is the reality. On video a “Moldovan” protestor. Caveat: he’s from Russia and doesn’t speak local language. Classic

Always accuse your enemy of what you are doing.
US Intelligence has zero credibility.
My country’s CIA specializes in creating havoc to change governments, as they did in ukraine and as they are trying to do in Hungary now.
Russia isn't going to stir up unrest in Moldova with a war going on in Ukraine. They have no interest in Moldova, other than guarding the ammo depot in Transnistria, which they already control.
Just like with the terrorist act on the Nord Stream pipelines, WE are the ones with motive to stir up unrest to distract the Russian war effort in Ukraine.
You are of your father, Timber, the devil, a liar.
These are Kazans fellow country men and why they support Putin below. Kazan.

I finally figured out what Kazan’s handle means:
“Kremlin Assigned Zaniness And Nonsense”.
Skip to the Bottom Line - How many of OUR tax dollars is Biden sending them, and what are Hunter's and "The Big Guy's" cut?
Like the US did in Ukraine in 2014 that started this mess? Like the Russians “blowing up” Nord Stream 2?
Like how our intelligence agencies found WMDs in Iraq?
I smell bullshit!
Duh! Why wouldn't Putin do that? It is such an obvious gambit.
It is a bit risky because such activity could cause a crackdown by the Moldovan government. However, I think he is correctly reading the government as unwilling to crack down. So if he can topple the government and establish a Russian-friendly government in Chisenau it may cause the Ukrainians to divert forces from the eastern front. It is risky because if the Ukes feel threatened enough they could potentially attack the Russian-friendly government before it can even set up its first concentration camps. And they would roll over Putin's Transnistria ally in a heartbeat.
If it works he has a new threat on the rear border of Ukraine. If it does not he loses Transnistria. But he may have decided that the potential sacrifice of an ally is worth the gamble.
I guess the irony in your screen name is lost on you.

The 10 Rules of Propaganda
Lord Arthur Ponsonby was a British diplomat and politician, dates 1871–1946.
This keen and cagey fellow pinpointed 10 rules of propaganda. They are these:
1. We don’t want war, we are only defending ourselves.
2. The other guy is solely responsible for this war.
3. Our adversary’s leader is evil and looks evil.
4. We are defending a noble purpose, not special interest.
5. The enemy is purposefully causing atrocities; we only commit mistakes.
6. The enemy is using unlawful weapons.
7. We have very little losses, the enemy is losing big.
8. Intellectuals and artists support our cause.
9. Our cause is sacred.
10. Those who doubt our propaganda are traitors.
