Moldova and France will sign a defence cooperation accord on Thursday as part of the West's efforts to strengthen the former Soviet state's capabilities amid what they fear are increasing efforts by Russia to destabilise Moldova.
Moldova, a western neighbour of Ukraine, has a tiny defence budget and has long had tense relations with Moscow, which have worsened as Chisinau backs Ukraine in the war against Russia.
Russia has troops and peacekeepers based in Transdniestria, a breakaway statelet of Moldova that has maintained its autonomy for three decades with the Kremlin's support.
The French presidency said in a statement on Wednesday that defence and economic cooperation accords would be signed when President Emmanuel Macron meets his Moldovan counterpart Maia Sandu in Paris.

what is wrong with you?
What are you, a fat, Victorian Englishman? Because dreams of empire motivate you and you are an overbearing idiot.
"I am so conservative that I support the restoration of the Spanish empire under the Bourbon monarchy, and my guides in political philosophy are Thomas Aquinas and De Maistre.A non-republican monarchist is busy trying to portray himself as a political conservative on Free Republic, a forum which includes the word, "free" meaning in part not a subject of a monarch, and "republic" meaning a form of government quite different than a monarchy.You extremist republican liberals that call themselves 'conservatives' are funny. You have never understood what you are, much less why you are what you are.
And yet, and yet ...
We actual, genuine conservatives in the great old European tradition see an assertion that we dispute as a challenge to argument, an 'en garde', to a civilized crossing of blades. As did, note, Thomas Aquinas, as his 'Summa' is really a guide to arguments.
Throwing garbage is not defending your position. It is boorish and disorderly behavior best suppressed by the monarch."
Actually, it is amusing that he documented his own non-free and non-republican view in this manner, in an apparent attempt to demonstrate his "superior" intellect.
No, buwaya is filipino for crocodile. He’s Filipino.
I hear you. Every few months he pops up and makes noise. I work on getting his hubris and anti-American feelings out in the open, and on display. It’s pretty easy :)
This is my business. Is it yours? You are complaining about French policy concerning a dispute between Moldavia and Russia. I at least am a citizen of a co-NATO and co-EU state with France. France is about 100 miles from me.
None of us in this discussion are French, Romanian, Moldavian or Russian (well, some might be Russian, who knows).
Your attitude is curious, to say the least.
ah. Thanks. He seemed to bite on the Catalonia reference and on #43 from Worldtraveler once upon a time.
I am, as I showed, far more conservative than you are.
What I am is the oldest, OG conservative there ever has been or can be. You lot are all liberal radicals.
No, I have commented with Buwaya many times. He is an ungrateful, green card Filipino with a rather high opinion of himself and he is sure he has the prescription to cure all of America’s ills. He is the smartest man in the world, just ask the little snot.
well said. Pure foreign, anti-American arrogance on display.
I am, in truth, an international man of mystery.
The leftovers of three empires, we spend a lot of money on air travel.
I shall soon be back in the US as it happens. I am there for a few weeks every year.
The last major war the UK and France needed American Solders and Blood to
save their Surrender Monkey Ass*s. I would not start another was to help Corrupt Ukraine.
“I am, in truth, an international man of mystery.

Thanks for the heads up. I will be on the lookout for a tiny Filipina with a little stick up his tiny arse and a chip on his trout shoulder.
If I am arrogant, and hate the US, then you have to, logically, reject my criticisms of the US. But also logically, you can’t, because you would thus also have to defend your political and cultural enemies. You are in an untenable argumentative position, between a rock and a hard place.
War.
I will mostly be in San Francisco, pretending to be Charlton Heston in “The Omega Man”.
“he has the prescription to cure all of America’s ills”
For many of America’s ills, yes indeed. If you disagree with me, you can vote for Gavin Newsom, he’s your man.

Three telling posts from the Superior Filipino. Makes you wonder why such an intellectual genius mingles with people he considers inferior.

“Only a despotic Zeeper would propose using the US-funded World Bank to use our own money against us for thwart the will of our representatives in Congress.
Zeepers are NWO creeps and not Americans.”
Well, I am NOT American.
I COULD have been American, anytime in the last 40 years, but I chose not to be.
So hear this, from an interested outsider, with plenty of experience in the world - this rage, this hatred, is not not good. It is not holy, not ethical, not prudent, and not sane. It is sinful and can only lead to worse things. Look into yourself, go to confession if you are Catholic, and perhaps look into a retreat -

You need help.

buwaya to bimboeruption
Nope, I am not a citizen of your country. But I lived there for 40 years, married an American, and left you my American children, who are all scary smart and talented. I have thereby added vastly to your national wealth.
And, more important, I have a store of knowledge and experience that I am certain you can’t match. So the smart thing to do, in ypur case, is to listen with humility and appreciation. It is a sort of IQ test, in fact.

I AM superior. I can’t help that, it is simply so.
You, on the other hand, are resentful. That is an...uglier state of being.

Rock, hard place. Go defend Joe Biden and all his friends.
