    Moldova votes to change their constitution to include EU aspirations. BlackRock starts preparing to buy capital in Moldova.

    Like clockwork.

      And all of that, of course, after a rigged election.

      The Pro EU candidate won by 11.000 votes. About 500.000 Moldovans live in the EU and Russia each respectively. The ones in the EU could vote in around 280 election offices. The ones in the latter in…two (2).

        My first thought was “why didn’t Russia do more?” but then I remembered it’s a Moldovan referendum and the government of Moldova is responsible for the voting locations.

        But that’s Western-style democracy for ya.

    Whenever I see things like this, I remember how much of a traitor Mikhael “we want to be a normal country” Gorbachev was.

    Of course. The US has more pokers to put in the fire. They weren’t going to be done with Russia after Ukraine. They’ve prepared several states in the region after spending years training their politicians as obedient dogs and infiltrating them on a societal level. Moldova is a big one because there’s Transnitsia there in a similar situation to Ukraine’s east, full of comrades who miss the USSR and have a Russian affinity. They already tried with Georgia before and tried again but were defeated. Armenia is a kind of wait and see situation, given Azerbaijan they may not dare do anything and there isn’t much of a Russian minority but they’re certainly prying them away from the CIS group of states.

      Ukraine is just a tool. Moldova, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, whoever - be wary, lest you want to become the next tool of the US empire.
