Thousands of protesters took to the streets in Moldova yesterday, wanting to express their opinion that NATO escalating hostilities against Russia is only going to mean further regional crisis, conflict and likely bloodshed.
There is a significant amount of support for Russia within the country of Moldova, but that presents a problem for the western alliance, specifically NATO, as the peace demand runs against their interests. As a result, Russia is blamed for inspiring the street protests against NATO escalation.
When the U.S. activates NGOs in European countries (Moldova, Hungary, Georgia) the media call it “spreading democracy.” However, when the people who live in the country organically rise up in the opposite direction against the government outcomes from the NGO pressure, the media call it “Russian interference.” NBC pushes the NATO message:
(Via NBC) – Police in Moldova said they foiled a plot by groups of Russia-backed actors who were trained to cause mass unrest during a Sunday protest against the country’s new pro-Western government.
The head of Moldova’s police, Viorel Cernauteanu, said in a news conference that an undercover agent had infiltrated groups of “diversionists,” some Russian citizens, who allegedly were promised $10,000 to organize “mass disorder” during the protest in the capital, Chisinau. Seven people were detained, he said.
Separately, police said they arrested 54 protesters, including 21 minors, who exhibited “questionable behavior” or were found to be carrying prohibited items, including at least one knife.
The protest Sunday is one of several held in recent weeks organized by a group calling itself Movement for the People, which is backed by Moldova’s Russia-friendly Shor Party, which holds six seats in the country’s 101-seat legislature.
The demonstrators are demanding that the government fully cover the costs of winter energy bills and to “not involve the country in war.” They have repeatedly called on President Maia Sandu to step down.
[…] Moldova’s border police also said Sunday that 182 foreign nationals in the last week have been denied entry into Moldova, including a “possible representative” of Russia’s Wagner Group, the private military company that is fighting in Ukraine, Moldova’s war-torn neighbor.
The police announcement Sunday comes just days after U.S. intelligence officials said they have determined that actors with ties to Russian intelligence are planning to use protests in Moldova, a European Union candidate since last June, as a basis to foment an insurrection against the country’s government.

Iranians are right when they called us “The Great Satan”, sadly. Of course their ire is mostly directed at our government.
Im sure the Iranian government knows Biden Didnt Win and are loving every minute of it.
I think that it’s most Muslims in the Middle East who believe that. I worked over there around the Iraq “war” timeline, in a “support the mission” position. I could offer no credible defense to The Great Satan. Some were smart enough to know that our government was acting outside the will of Americans. Many did not make that distinction …
But, but, but aren’t we in the noble business of “spreading (hated word) democracy”??
Well, ya know, Samantha Powers says TOE-MAY-TOE and Muh Russia says TOE-MA-TOE, and the people of these countries just say GET-OUT-FASCISTS-AND-LEAVE-US-ALONE.
She was born in London…
Bet she says “toe-mah-toe” when no one is listening.
In Bawlamer* we jus say ‘maters.
* “Baltimore” for all youse non-Bawlamorons. 😉
😁!! Perfection, GB
😁
Maters and Taters.
Yup
Trump/Putin/Putin/Trump
Media are a little limited.
They must be envious of other toddlers with similar tantrums but a wider vocabulary
Only the USA corrupt leftist leaders
and their surrogates
—may—impose insurrections
in countries;
against the will,
and at the expense
of the lives (literally)
– of its people.
If you ever had the someone with a personality disorder in your life then the US government’s actions will be familiar.
Precisely.
They exhibit all the DSM-5 disorders plus a few others.
It’s too bad that more folks aren’t aware of these quite prevalent disorders.
Especially among females..
Just look at Liawatha, Hoe Harris, Samantha Powers, Susan Rice..Psaki.
Republicans have L Cheney and others, but nothing like the numbers on the left.
Same here in Canada..
Avoid them at all costs..
Cheers!
You’re the only law enforcement type I know who knows and appreciates the dangers of Borderline Personality Disorder.
I know far more about it than most, sadly.
Been on that ride, not getting back on. That’s why I keep stressing the importance of ostracizing anyone who is part of the cult.
Classic Cluster B gaslighting. No wonder why millions suffer from Pavlovian hysteria.
I see US instigators of this war…i.e. US “Intelligence”… say Russian ” actors” are going to be used for an insurrection in Moldova.
Anyone know where Samantha Power is? Last seen in Hungary trying to foment another Colour Revolution, if memory serves.
She was last seen in Georgia was it not? Promoting another color revolution for a new government to withdraw Russian support and to invade Osetia again.
Busy bee.
Indeed she is…
I guess her work in Hungary was done.
Buzz, buzz buzz…

Admitting we are at war w/Russia using the Ukrainians to do the fighting.

Thank you for that link, Leave. I saw that but I am glad you put it here.
Remember, she wasn’t the first to admit it. Annalena Baerbock, Germany’s Green and ineffective blabbermouth Foreign Minister was the first.
So inept has this all been, so brazen and incompetent, it’s a wonder more do not comprehend what is being done and who the real villains of this tragic farce are.
She’s currently in Georgia fomenting a government change
Zelenskyy is essentially the Commander in Chief of the NWO.
Zelensky is really a nobody, LITERALLY a paid actor that is not even a Ukranian.
When he came to power out of nowhere he couldnt even speak Ukranian.
When his usefulness is expired they will drop him like 10 tonnes of brick hanging from a balloon.
Zelensky needs some “insurance”, otherwise he will be Arkancided or Epsteined
He’s the paid front man for the USA.
According to the WEF, putrid, rotting corpse, propaganda news media, Zelinskyy is the new George Washington of ze vorld with his OD#7 Green tee shirt and carpenter pants uniform. 🙄
ROFLMAO – If so, then the NWO is in really big trouble! Too funny.
Zelenskyy is a puppet. He is of no consequence. Once hostilities die down and he’s situated in another country he will be of no importance.
Actually nice to see leaders that know what’s best for their country.
Note according to twitter:
“@RT_com’s account has been withheld in Portugal, Finland, Sweden, Ireland, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Germany, Greece, Romania, Netherlands, Bulgaria, Austria, Luxembourg, Latvia, United Kingdom, Denmark, Lithuania, Croatia, Estonia, Cyprus, France, Spain, Belgium in response to a legal demand.”
So much for free speech in th EU countries!
and they call weapons of mass destruction, peacekeepers…
You may not be interested in someone else’s war, but their war is interested in you.
Moldova may not be a NATO member, but as one that has an affiliation with the alliance they cannot be left alone by NATO planners if they decide Moldova has something that they want.
Moldova is a very poor country, so many of its citizens have left to work in western Europe. Those people outside Moldova are still allowed to vote in Moldova’s elections.
Many people in Moldova are pro-Russian, but their elected government tends to be pro-Western. Maia Sandu is pro-Romanian, educated at Harvard, and for 2 years advisor to the executive director of the World Bank in Washington DC.
It will require permission of Moldova for Ukrainian troops to cross into Transnistria to try to steal the weapons from the huge armory in Transnistria left over from Soviet times. Those weapons and ammunition that would be enough to last through years of war.
The Soviet-era weapons caches in Transnistria, especially the one in Cobasna (only 2 miles from the Ukraine border), are comprised of outdated Soviet weapons (mostly small arms and ammunition). There are less than 20 T-64 tanks (50-60 years old) in service in Transnistria, some mobile rocket launchers, and not much other artillery. There is really nothing there anyone wants. Ukraine doesn’t need outdated T-64 tanks (Ukraine has lost more than 200 tanks already to more sophisticated Russian arms) when they are receiving Leopards (German), Challengers (British), T-72s (Russian tanks from the Czechs), and potentially Abrams tanks (US).
Russian troop numbers in Transnistria are down to 800 or less (officially the Russians are peacekeepers in place following the Moldovan civil war in 1991-2). The Russians can’t take their old weapons out through Moldova (Chisinau airport), the Moldovan government won’t allow Russian soldiers to take arms through Chisinau; there are no flights from the Tiraspol airport, and the Russians can’t ship weapons through Ukraine for obvious reasons. If not properly stored (the depots are WWII era structures in a very poor country, so think about the quality of storage), old weapons and ammunition can be dangerous to the users. In my opinion, blowing up is the real danger of these depots — an explosion could do significant damage to a local area. Cobasna is remote so perhaps that’s not so bad, but depots in Bender, Dubasari, Ribnita, and Tiraspol could pose more of a problem to their surroundings.
Well said and true.
That ammunition is volatile. 💥
Just moving it into Ukraine would be risky.
Transnistria is a pretty heavy hitter. They are well armed and also have Russia’s support. From what I have read. Russia has been slowly bolstering their force of 1200 peacekeepers stationed in Transnistria. If Ukraine stepped across the border they would meet a lot of resistance. Transnistria has a small well trained army with about 20,000 reserves. Plus lot of heavy duty rocket launchers.
The old Soviet era ammo dump is just that. Old. The munitions there are most likely expired. From sat pics of the dump that I have seen. It looks about half way decommissioned. With empty bunkers and partially demolished concrete storage buildings.
If Ukraine did try to take the dump. The Russians would blow it up in their faces. As badly as the war is going for Ukraine in the east .They could hardly afford the manpower to open up a second front in Transnistria. Which could also give reason for Russia to attack Odessa.
I don’t know what you mean when say, “lot of heavy duty rocket launchers.” The PMR (Transnistrian forces) have the Pribor-1 (a 20-shot launcher mounted on a ZiL truck) and the Pribor-2 (a 48-shot launcher on a Kamaz truck). The numbers are few, resupply is a big issue, and the systems are not much of a threat to any modern force. Claiming the PMR is a “well-trained army” is also a big stretch. It is true the PMR conducts military exercises, but the quality of C3 is very poor and there is no ability to sustain any length of combat actions: there is no reasonable way to resupply. On the other hand, even though Moldova’s army is smaller in numbers, the equipment is more modern, the C3 is modern, NATO units (including some from the US) have supported Moldovan military training/exercises at Bulboaca near Chisinau and at Fort Bliss, and the Moldovan army is paired with the North Carolina National Guard for continued training and support/assistance (going on 25 years now, I believe). It would be a short match if Transnistrian forces tried to engage Moldova.
The Moldovan govt will do what it’s US paymasters tell them to do.
I suspect any “moldovan troops” will speak amazingly good English, with Southern (U.S.) accents, …
In other words, this is all a cover, for inserting MORE American troops into the battle, while maintaining “deniability” which will fool no one.
Sounds like the US is calling in the chips with Moldova.
My understanding is this is the largest single stockpile of all types of military equipment, small vehicles, trucks, tanks and includes all caliber of guns and ammunition in all of Europe if not the world. Ukraine wants dearly, as does NATO, to get their hands on it as it would supply Ukraine with enough military hardware to last them over a year. Russia is guarding closely. Anybody makes a move to try to capture it and WWIII will start.
It’s junk! No one wants it. Russia destroyed most of its T-64 tanks in Transnistria when it was clear they couldn’t bring them back to Russia. There are less than 20 T-64s operational in the PMR’s Order of Battle. Trucks and other vehicles are cannibalized for spare parts or uniquely modified by the PMR to do jobs they weren’t built for — some of the creations are positively hilarious. Most of the cache is ammunition — tons of it. But as I mentioned before, it has been in storage (of unknown quality), for 30 years. Don’t know about you, but I for one would not want to shoot it.
Z-Bag doesn’t care if the ammo is sketchy.
Sketchy is the order of the day for Ukrainian armed forces.
I do agree that the ammo is the only fungible and potentially worthwhile thing there.
Except, perhaps, for the opportunity for NATO and Derp State NGOs to create more havoc.
Those Moldavan pro-russians are the Transnistrian Russian colony. Your contention that their armory would support years of Ukrainian war effort demonstrates either a lack of understanding regarding logistics or a need to create facts that don’t exist.
those words “Russian interference” will go down as the biggest joke in history! Every time I have a problem now, I’m going to blame it on Russian interference!
Find and replace Russian interference with Obama deep state influence, our American foreign policies.
Deb: “Every time I have a problem now, I’m going to blame it on Russian interference!”
Good one! I am sooo stealing your idea. When I can’t find a parking spot, when they are out of my favorite ice cream, when it rains on Saturday and I have to make other plans, if I’m late for work, “Russian interference!”
Is there anything Putin can’t do? 😉
If everyone does that enough, Russian Interference will become a running joke, highlighting the YSM’s perfidy.
TV on the fritz? Russian Interference!
The EU and NATO love our American fiat currency. Makes it so they don’t have have to use their own fiat currency. For the most part they are defenseless without our so called military industrial war complex. Ukraine is a very poor investment. Unfortunately the EU nations are suffering from the same propaganda machine we have in Amerika. The same immigration problems. The same green energy crisis. The same wokeness. DEI is a massive failure, incompetent people are hired. The globalist agenda is a ruination of the middle class all by design. Kaboom.
You can tell the West is desperate when they say protesting for peace is bad!
Up is down, down is up.
What the f#*k is really going on..sure we know about the M.I.C. etc.
Sure the Western way of life is being squeezed.
But this is serious stuff.
Putin will not lose this!
Especially when he has a higher approval rating worldwide than Americas Bidump.
Cheers!
Did Samantha Power or Victoria Nuland stop by Moldova recently? That’s who they send in to make sure the country descends into chaos and the citizens of that nation get screwed.
They were in the neighborhood.
send in the clowns
I always thought “democracy” was the people choosing their own government and leaders.
I did not realize it is actually a system with sociopathic, harridan women (Victoria Nuland, Samantha Power, etc) from far away ordering you to install THEIR choices as your leaders.
The husbands of these lunatics must sleep in a separate, locked bedroom with a loaded .45 on the nightstand and one eye open, in case of a late night, violent, temper tantrum.
trust me, the husbands are in on it also.
Cass Sunstein (Power’s cuck) is all in.
Democracy is tantamount to Communism.
To all those who say the globalist are not stupid, I disagree! Who in their right mind would do this? They are either demonic controlled/demonically possessed if neither of these, it leaves only stupid.
They may have a few governments siding with them, but when the vast majority of earths population does not side with you what do you real have, not much, this includes a good number of military personnel around the world. 22 years ago life changed, but those 22 yrs have opened a lot of people minds and the these last 3 years, wow. If they start a 3rd world war, i’m doubting many will show to fight it! A real 3rd war would lead to their demise
They can only have these little regional battles. They are just Vietnam’s all over again, because no one is really interested in war, except the MIC’s here and in Russia/China.
This is the great battle.
I still get the smell of “Eau de Samantha Power”, and I’m upwind…
NATO is the most aggressive defensive alliance in history.
We know that –
Up = Down
Lies = Truth
Fascism = Democracy
So now fill in the blank : “Defensive” = _______
offensive…
offensive alliance I would say.
Re “spreading democracy” versus “Russian interference”:
“Our subsidized astroturfed riots are grassroots protests; your grassroots protests are stage-managed insurrections.”
Or dead. (alternative subtitle)
Waiting for Samantha Powers to show up in Moldova……
Where are the US protests?
In the DC jail since 2021
We need to pray that these small countries might be granted divine protection from war-seeking individuals within the United States government and the European Union, because they intend to destroy their leaders if they refuse to participate in a regime change war against Russia to advance the long-term goal of setting up a world government.
We should also pray that God might remove from power these same individuals who wish to silence and punish Americans who dare to oppose their globalist agenda, and pray that they might repent of their actions before they face the judgment of God.
800,000 Moldovans signed a petition demanding gov pay their skyrocketing utility and energy bills. This is very much like other European protests.
Samantha Power (CIA CIA CIA) and her shit!
Moldova’s border police also said Sunday that 182 foreign nationals in the last week have been denied entry into Moldova, including a “possible representative” of Russia’s Wagner Group, ……
Glad that they stopped that one representative (convenient that it’s a ‘possible’. How many were Russian? they would say if they were. Bank.
Samantha Power’s next stop?
Was about to jokingly type, “I heard that Putin is the reason that Santa Claus doesn’t exist!”
“Fact Checking”has literally degraded into a combination of 1984’s Newspeak, Memory Holes, Double Think, and ANTIFA’s favorite… HATE WEEK.
Biden has at the very least attempted to Nationalize our Banking system… but instead of the Media saying, “No Beuno” instead try to say Putin is responsible for Antiwar Protests!
The Media makes Prostitutes look respectable in comparison!
If President Trump pulls the U.S. out of NATO it would collapse in less than 30 days. Europeans have no stomach for a fight against Russia. They would eventually devolve into bickering principalities which is thire natural state. A pox on them.
The MIC will assassinate him.
I think the time for that has passed.
Frankly, If I were them, I would stage a “JFK solution” NOW, and not JUST the installed Potatus (that wouldn’t be enough) but also, at a separate location, the Veep.
Have some “patsies” with MAGA hats to blame, and reprise what happened after Lincoln; martial law, suspend habeous corpus, and crank up the ongoing J6 arrest operation 1000 percent, basically declaring MAGA a terrorist movement.
The J6 arrests ARE continueing, you know
J6 arrests/detainees must be declared null and void. Find the true agitators of violence now.
We do know who agitated the violence.
Bite your fingers!
They already are bickering and fighting.
Like preschoolers on a playground.
–he didn’t send enough tanks!!
–I am not sending mine until he sends his…
And that is just one example.
It is a question as to why, why these govts allow these NGO’s, ultimately controlled by the neo con thugs, e.g. nuland, samantha power, to set up in these host countries.
It should be more than clear that the goal is destabilization and regime change: e.g. Kazakhstan, Hungary, Georgia, Moldavia and most successfully Ukraine. It goes on in all parts of the world: Asia, Latin America, Mid East.
Why allow these sinister thugs to set up in their host countries. I believe Putin kicked most of them out of Russia.
Mexico is probably next on the list. AMLO’s pushing the envelope.
…bribery…
They make a TON of money and use dim bulbed youth to do their dirty work for them. People like Kayla Mueller just wanting to make the world a better place.
They come with lots of UD dollars – cash on pellets.
China just brokered a political detente betw Iran and SA after decades of hostilities.
President Xi is soon to visit Moscow and Xi has agreed to meet Zelensky virtually (at Z’s request).
What if Xi is eventually able to broker a peace in Ukraine? BRICS application?
Bye bye petrodollar.
Would you call Xi brokering a peace around US objections as a Chinese takeout?
I have seen reports/mentions that Xi and possible meeting with Zelensky to begin peace deals.
I have not seen anything official….
Would not be surprised though. And Zelensky has been whining that he wanted to talk to Xi.
Zelensky wants support from Xi…..if Xi says meeting for peace negotiations….Zelensky will probably have an Epic meltdown.
Will be interesting.
Some took $10,000 to drag down their nation…
Sounds exactly like our congress critters here…
Narcissists are truly despicable examples of human beings.
Maiden II?
I used to get somewhat hurt and offended when people claimed America was bad, now I don’t. This country i.e. gov’t is rotten to the core.
…it is…
The government (And the two political parties) are not the country.
The Orthodox Christian peoples of Moldova and of Georgia are among the most traditionalist and faithful to Christ.
Zelensky has given another Orthodox Church notice to leave. They have been given 30 days.
The people are very upset and are already protesting.
I saw pictures and watched video of their Easter services.
It is breathtakingly beautiful and moving.
Zelensky and Ukraine are all about Democracy and Freedom……///s
Remember when nurses were making choreographed dance videos during pandemic. Well, these are Ukrainian soldiers during a war have time to do the same.
They are really selling some more of that authenticity. 🙄
demonic.
Oh, so RUSSIA is fomenting protests in another country, to further ITS interests, but no mention of how the U.S. has been doing it, for YEARS.
The Euromaiden, the ME “Color Revolutions”, as well as a long list of toppled govt’s around the World.
IRAN, for instance which HAD a Democratically elected, Secular leader, but he (reasonably enough) wanted to Nationalise Oil production.
So, the CIA toppled him, put in the corrupt Shaw, which gave us the Aiotolla.
A long list of such actions, resulting in totally forseeable consequences, and NO evidence they learned anything.
And all of these travesties, these needless, senseless wars, etc. done “in our name”.
One of the biggest requirement to Obliterate the Deep State is to massively reform if not eliminate NGOs.
Putin must now know what its like to argue with and idiot.
There have been anti war and anti NATO protests in a LOT of countries lately.
The best was the Tank of Roses in Berlin.
I predict that as the weather improves the protests will increase in number and size.

An assassination attempt on Transnistria’s leader Vadim Krasnoselsky has been thwarted, and the suspects have been detained and are confessing, the breakaway republic’s State Security Ministry said in a statement.
According to the ministry, the terror attack was being plotted by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) against a number of officials of the Republic of Pridnestrovian.
Foreign Minister, Vitaly Ignatiev said that Transnistria will ask Ukraine to provide all the necessary information about the botched terror attack, and will appeal to the participants of the 5+2 format on the Transnistrian settlement in order to prevent an escalation of tensions.
Update: 17 Pounds of explosives had been mounted on Kasnoselsky’s Land Rover but the explosives failed to detonate. The explosion had been planned for the center of Tiraspol which would have resulted in a large number of victims and would have eliminated top officials of the Republic.
Ignatiev: “The Transnistrian authorities are working on various response plans in case of an attack by Ukraine.”
Afternoon Update- Transnistria’s leader Vadim Krasnoselsky: “The network formed by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) to prepare a terrorist attack in Transnistria has been completely neutralized.”
Moldovan Bureau for Reintegration [unnamed spokesperson]: “The Moldovan authorities have no information about the terrorist attack in Transnistria that was being prepared on March 9, which was reported in Tiraspol”
Moldovan Prime Minister, Dorin Recean: “There is no threat of escalation of the situation in Moldova in connection with reports of the preparation of terrorist attacks in Transnistria.”
Ukraine SBU Security Services calls the accusations of Pridnestrovie against Ukraine’s organization of an assassination attempt on the leadership of the “republic” “nonsense”.

Send over Victoria Nuland and / or Samantha Power to instigate and coordinate the overthrow of the government of Moldova if they don’t adhere to the official narrative.
Snicker. . . .
I am Moldova.
Rush Limbaugh used to say the Dems have a playbook they go to.
In Obama/Biden Admins it is a secretive foreign policy which seems to interfere in others sovereignty.
We didn’t see this in Trump Presidency and Russia/China were held in check. So why all this contrived stuff? Why blow up Nordstream for instance?
If it’s not a policy strong enough to be made public, why are we doing it? What are the ramifications? How does the world view these actions? Does it make US stronger/weaker on the international stage and economically?
Where are our protest marches?
