Maybe I'm wrong,but I think they wanna capture the country before Russia wins the war in Ukraine
And yeah,they said it'd join by 2030,so not anytime soon
They're still Marshall planning it though, though maybe the money faucet will die down after the war ends
I think the fear is Russia is forced to take Odessa and it'll link up to Transnistria and they possibly wanna draw a strong partitioning line before that
Moldovan referendum tomorrow https://www.npr.org/sections/the-picture-show/2024/10/18/g-s1-28762/photos-moldova-referendum-vote-russia-meddling
This might be a controversial take,but I'm frankly pro the west winning on this one
Moldova is in a tug of war between Russia and the EU at the moment,and it looks like both are going all out.
Now, obviously I don't support the EU or western interests expanding,but,and this may be chauvinist brainworms,I do believe Moldova's future,minus Transnistria is to be reunited with us. Either us or Russia, because as it stands it's really not viable as a state. Again,this is the only point where I believe Romania's interests should align with the west.If the EU project can limp along enough for us to practically reunite before it dies,I'd see that as a win.Either way maybe we can work out something like a Romanian-Moldovan Schengen since neither of us are getting in the actual one and pave the way for reunification.
This person's brain has rotted into toxic sludge
Its doubly fucked when you live in cities that are just like theirs,and your grandparents live in villages just like those
And then you move away from the border,and into the capital,and it's like you stepped into another reality,no alarms at night,no jets flying overhead,it's like the war is something on tv again (Not Ukrainian,but I live on the border with them)
Very fine people on both sides,I say
Unrelated,but we have this word in Romanian too,seems we picked it up from the Yiddish, because it means the exact same thing
I had no clue they went by she/her lmao
I honest to God thought it was some Reddit debate bro with a non compromising anti-anime stance
Actually his bunker is where the server room for this site is,I have it on very good authority
This site was founded during the sino Soviet split
I feel like they overused the Jesus character
I weep for Ukraine
No matter their faults,no matter the Nazi ideology that festered,no matter the hatred that now rules there,I cant help but weep for those poor people
Not the azovists,not the Canadian Ukrainians,but the people in the villages,the children,the city dwellers who didn't participate in pogroms,who foolishly believed Europe would let them in
Ukraine is no Israel,those people are native to the land,and to see such senseless slaughter for the service of compradors and Yankee tyrants fills me with sorrow and makes my blood boil
For all of its faults,for all the evil it committed throughout it's history, Ukraine didn't need to go through this
No country,sans settler colonies, deserve to be systematically destroyed in such a manner
When I think of Ukraine,the first thing that comes to mind is not the twisted Azov monsters,not the snarling jackals that rule with Washington's consent,for me it's tiny lights on the horizon,a city in the distance, almost identical to mine,where people like me live,where there once was quiet and peace,where the Danube gently flowed between islands of reeds and singing birds,where the only sounds at night were made by crickets and other nighttime critters
Now the lights remain,but they are joined by the flashes of explosions,the night is no longer quiet,with alarms blaring from phones, warning people to take shelter, joined by the echoes of booms far away,the beauty of nature ruined by the conflict of man
I'm sorry if this sounds pretentious,but this is how I feel about the whole situation
When I'm home,I occasionally stare out of the window and wonder what would have happened if I was born just a little more to the north.Would I have been sent to die as cannon fodder on the fields of Donbass?Would I have fled and become a stranger in a strange land, accepted only as long as it is convenient,only to be discarded when the war didn't turn out the way the West thought it would? I keep hearing that I'm safe,I'm in a NATO country,they wouldn't dare attack us! Might have even believed it,had I not seen people who live in a place just like mine,that I could see from my own window have their world and safety shattered by this conflict.
Right
At least the cernoziom will have plenty of bodies nestled in it's warm embrace,nourishing it before it's all over
Sorry to be a downer,but the bonnes temps are gone for the foreseeable future,I can only hope that only Ukraine gets tossed on the pyre
