| Moldova's Trans-Dniester region pleads to join Russia |
| 2014-03-20 |
| [BBC] Pro-Russian politicians and activists in Moldova's breakaway Trans-Dniester region have asked the Russian parliament to draft a law that would allow their territory to join Russia. The Trans-Dniestrian appeal comes as Moscow moves towards absorbing Crimea into the Russian Federation. Ukraine, the EU and US say that move is illegal. Russian loyalists dominate Trans-Dniester, with support from Moscow. The region split from Moldova in a war in 1991-92, as the USSR was collapsing. Moldova's President Nicolae Timofti said in a news briefing on Tuesday that any decision by Moscow to accept Trans-Dniester "would be a step in the wrong direction". I doubt the Romanians will be too keen on this. |

| #2 "Back in the USSR ...", as the song goes. Donetsk may make "3.0". Again, IMO the only reason for Putin to go beyond the Crimea is to humiliate the Bammer = USA, by-n-for the sheer sake of humiliation. NO PCORRECTNESS-DENIABILITY, JUST TO PUT THE BAMMER = USA DOWN BECAUSE HE CAN. The good news for the Bammer is that, as per the "Great Game", Putin = anti-US OWG Globalists may risk "going too far" such that the outcome or consequences [dominoes] will come to existentially threaten him = Russia, etal. as well??? |
