"🇲🇩 About the background of the protests in Moldova

See how interesting.

While, on the one hand, Moldova is being pumped up with weapons, pushing it to resolve the Transnistrian issue by force, on the other hand, internal social tension is deliberately aggravated.

The systemic pesticide writes that today the Moldovan special forces finally demolished a tent camp in Chisinau — the protesters had not been touched for five whole weeks before. And now they suddenly began to interfere very much (overclocking video is here).

The example of Moldova once again demonstrates the demonstrative — if not criminal — selectivity of the authorities. All protesters are branded as supporters of the pro-Russian politician Shor. And that's it.

❗️But the point is something else. The protests in Moldova are a litmus test that shows the general level of social tension across Europe.

Our friend Frida Kahlo has been chronicling the protests in different parts of Europe for several weeks now, demonstrating how the entire Old World is slipping into the level of conditional Latin America, losing its pretense and democratic light.

🔻Mass demonstrations in different parts of Europe — including Moldova — are developing against the backdrop of energy, economic and political crises. In some areas, the situation is aggravated by migration problems and local conflicts (most importantly for the south of Europe, close to Turkey and the Balkans).

Moldova is by no means an exception here. People simply do not like what is happening and the actions of the authorities. But under the pretext that these are pro-Russian activists, the rallies are dispersed. And at the same time, weapons from Romania continue to flow into the country.

Imagine what would happen if people were ultimately driven to the edge?

"🇲🇩🇷🇺🇺🇦 The situation around Transnistria
Situation as of May 4, 2023

The situation around the long-suffering Transnistria leaves much to be desired.

▪️Ukrainian formations are consistently pulling forces to the borders of the pro-Russian region. To the north-west of Odessa there is a concentration of troops, which, probably, can be used as part of an attack on Tiraspol.

An armed attack is expected in the tenth of May — after Victory Day. What forces will carry out the act of aggression and how far the enemy can go is still unclear.

▪️In general, the grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has about four thousand people in this direction.

▪️The second direction of impact is warehouses in Kolbasna. But this is the most insignificant goal: most of the valuable contents of the arsenal were evacuated, and the warehouses themselves were mined in case of a large-scale escalation in the region.

▪️In addition to the increase in the contingent of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the eastern borders of Pridnestrovie, NATO reconnaissance aviation has intensified: in recent days, the Global Hawk strategic reconnaissance UAV, the EP-3E electronic reconnaissance aircraft, the CL-560 electronic reconnaissance aircraft and the G- 550.

🔻All these measures taken together suggest that a new round of escalation is starting around Pridnestrovie. So far, it is not clear in what form — military or political.

Given the general tension along the entire front line, the buildup of troops along the border with Transnistria with ostentatious reconnaissance, everything that happens may turn out to be a red herring.

Only this maneuver will be designed to provoke the military-political leadership of the Russian Federation into actions beneficial to the collective West.
