Conflict has a way of occurring when a country puts their military on the border and gets aggressive - saying they are afraid of a war. It’s Almost like they start it and fulfill their very fear.
They need to stop. Unless they are itching for a fight too.
Conflict also occurs when vicious and greedy countries like Russia invade their neighbors. Moldova is right to be afraid, looking just across the border at what happened to Ukraine.
Your appeasement reflex is very strong.
