Officials in Moldova’s Russia-backed breakaway region of Transnistria appealed to Moscow for protection Wednesday, as tensions escalate with the pro-Western government.
...
On Wednesday, members of the Transnistrian congress used a rare meeting in the regional capital, Tiraspol, to ask the Russian Duma to “implement measures for defending Transnistria amid increasing pressure from Moldova, given the fact that more than 220,000 Russian citizens reside in Transnistria."
A short war in the early 1990s led pro-Russian forces in Transnistria to declare a breakaway state. To this day, Russia stations about 1,500 troops in the region as so-called peacekeepers, who guard huge Soviet-era weapons and ammunition stockpiles.

Interestingly, I don’t think the Transnistria region was part of Bessarabia.
That is called ethnic cleansing.
No different that us breaking off a chunk of Serbia and creating Kosovo, or breaking off a chunk of Syria and giving it to the Kurds.
We do the exact same thing, and then act shocked when others do the same.
Translation: NATO wants to get its grubby hands on the ammo at the Cobasna ammunition depot in Transnistria.
What the US and Nato have done is radically different. We haven't claimed territory for ourselves, nor have we transplanted Americans en masse into territory we covet. Moscow does both. Has done for the last 500 years or so.
Truth! I am so over the do nothing republicans who fund this and every other dem dream.
That person is unhinged. Everyone loves to ignore the issues we have right at home. Very serious and future altering issues.
ON THE EFFECTIVE USE OF PROXY WARFARE - by Andrew Lewis Peek, May 2021, Dissertation for PhD
CHAPTER THREE: RUSSIA AND UKRAINE, 2013-2016 [pg 118 of 446 in the PDF file] "This chapter will examine Russia’s use of proxy forces in Ukraine from the beginning of demonstrations in Kiev’s Maidan Square on November 21, 2013 to the dissipation of the conflict in 2016. Though it covers all the high-intensity periods of the war, this chapter is focused on the fighting in Donbas and not Russia’s takeover of Crimea."
“That is called ethnic cleansing.”
No, it’s called Borders, Language, and Culture.
You might want to read the books by Michael Savage on the subject:
You two are the Defenders of the Russkiy Mir?
Amen.
“There are several on FR that would support it.”
Remember the good old days when you could count on FReepers to love America while hating their government?
Now we have a bunch who openly hate America and openly advocate for its downfall. A subset of that bunch openly advocates for Ruzzia.
SMH.
Are you the poster who has called for the killing of every single man, woman, and child in Russia?
You’re a bipolar nutjob. Luckily you have zero power.
“Luckily you have zero power.”
I’m pissing off the supporters of the Russian Empire. That’s power enough if you ask me.
I don’t support either country. That’s your incorrect assumption.
I’m not pissed, you are just some random woman.
I care about fixing America’s problems.
Yes. Yes, you did. 😂
Anyone advocating for that needs to be rounded up and dropped int the middle of the pacific. Do we or do we not have a right to self determination? Oh yeah just not some you disagree with.
It’s been an odd ride to forced facism or communism or just authoritarianism.
lol
