Russia & Ukraine

Russia is trying to 'destabilise' breakaway Moldovan region that borders Ukraine, Kyiv warns, after two explosions prompt 'false flag' fears
  • Two explosions destroyed two radio antennas in the region of Transnistria today
  • Day earlier, several explosions were reported to hit the Ministry of State Security
  • Transnistria, a region on the border with Ukraine, is recognised internationally as part of Moldova but is effectively controlled by Russia

So he's going to go back to Georgia now? What would be the reasoning? Hachapuri? Don't get me wrong, I love hachapuri.

Maybe that chick that did that video posted earlier today on the "real reasons" why Putin invaded Ukraine can do a whole Cliff Notes series.

- The Real Reasons Why Putin Invaded Ukraine.
- The Real Reasons Why Putin Invaded Crimea
- The Real Reasons Why Putin Invaded Georgia.
- The Real Reasons Why Putin Wants to Invade Georgia again. The Sequel.
- The Real Reasons Why Putin Wants to Invade Moldova
- The Real Reasons Why Putin Wants to Invade Transnytsia
- The Real Reasons Why Putin Wants to Invade Finland.

Yeh, publishing videos and books on why Putin wants to invade places can have growth potential. Maybe if you sign up for her book club or video series you can alerts on which country he wants to invade next. Lot's of Russian speakers in Alaska. Yeh. Gotta liberate them from all the Nazis. Nevermind that most of them are Old Believers who fled the Soviet Union because they did not like the first movie.

She has all the secret reasons why Putin does this. A simple country boy like me just thinks that Putin likes to invade places. I could be wrong. Probably NATO mistreated the Prince of Kiev in 700 A.D.

I guess we will see. If Russia goes and attacks Moldova with the intent to annex it, I'll gladly admit error.

Tell me, when could you see yourself going "OK, maybe I was wrong about that"? Probably never, right?

Can I ask who else is on the menu besides Moldova? Or is that top secret?

You should be asking a lot more questions.

As to being wrong about Moldova, it’s complicated but it’s less about me being wrong than about understanding all of this talk about nazis and NATO is all lies. Now if the Ukrainians had rolled over then it would have been a slam dunk the Russians would seek to close up access to the Black Sea and that is where Moldova/Transnitoria comes into play.

Who else is on the menu? Let’s say everything went well for the Russians, then probably a nice chunk of Lithuania to connect a land bridge to Kalingrad through Belarus so the Russians can terrify the Baltics even more.

I hope this helps.

Got it. So, according to you, Russia moves on Moldova (no, you don't get to call the occupation of Transnitoria that has been in place for decades an invasion), and then Lithuania? And what is your timeline on this, again?

Seriously, perhaps critical thinking isn’t your forte.

That's why I'm asking the foreign policy expert. What I'm not able to understand (because I lack critical thinking skills, apparently) is why you won't make a call on this apart from some random statements. Stand strong, man. Tell us what you think!
