Politicians in Moldova’s Kremlin-backed separatist region of Transnistria have appealed to Vladimir Putin to provide it with ‘protection’.

It’s a peculiar little pseudo-nation. Was never part of Romania until briefly in the 1940s so don’t consider themselves part of Moldova.

Trans people just want freedom
surely NATO accepts that?
LOL !
I am totally and completely surprised by the Moldavian rebels request. N O T
They have been trying to expand this war so NATO could get involved.
First with the Kaliningrad blockade.
then with the pipeline bombing. which if russia would have done it would have been an Article 5 attack.
They have been trying to stir up conflict in Kosovo against the Serb minority.
They already threatened Transnistra last year to seize the ammunition storage depot.
Also they shelled the Zaphor nuclear plant to create an incident.
And they blew the dam and flooded the Russian side in Kherson.
... and on and on...
😉
Russia has UN APPROVAL to be in Transnistria. If the Neocons try getting ‘cute’, they will have a LOT MORE Russians to deal with in that territory, and likely a Russian land-bridge from Donbass to deal with.

Putin’s MO. Invent victims, dump passports, find new Russians needing “protection. Stage a few attacks. Invade.
