🇲🇩 In recent years, the longstanding tension between the Moldovan government and the autonomous regions of Transnistria and Gagauzia has become increasingly apparent.

Political tensions in Moldova have escalated further due to heightened interest from U.S. think tanks in the region and the pursuit of closer ties with the European Union. These tensions have been exacerbated by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, now in its third year, and NATO’s largest military exercise since the Cold War.

Adding to the strain were rumors circulating in Western and Turkish media suggesting that Transnistria might seek to join Russia. Subsequently, the Transnistrian administration formally reached out to Russia for assistance during its congress.

The Gagauz leadership representing a Turkic identity is aligned with Russia, with deep historical and cultural ties to the Russian world.

🎧 On March 1, the editor-in-chief of the Rossiya Segodnya group, journalist Margarita Simonyan, revealed, on her Telegram channel, a 38-minute audio in which officers from the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) discussed the possibility of sending missiles long-range Taurus to Ukraine and whether they would be able to reach the Crimean bridge in the Kerch Strait, which connects the peninsula to the mainland and is Russian territory.

The Russian press, naturally, made much of the revelation. This forced the mainstream Western media – especially German ones – to report the leak. But whoever thought that a miracle would happen, that is, that the Western press would finally raise the issue of NATO’s military threats against Russia… well, those people are simply very naive.

The Western mass media, as always, tried to manipulate the news and hide the main issue 🔦

What if a conversation between Russian officials discussing the explosion of a bridge in Germany had been revealed? Would Western press coverage also treat the leak as something more serious than threats of military attack?

🗽 The state of the union speech was an insight into how the senile U.S. president is stuck in the past, out of touch with the reality of a multipolar world.

🇸🇪 After almost two years, Sweden’s admission process to NATO has finally been completed. Now, the country is formally part of the Western military alliance, submitted to the bloc’s obligations and in theory protected by its defense umbrella. Some analysts mistakenly claim that Sweden’s admission was a kind of “victory” for the West against Russia, but, investigating the case in depth, it is possible to conclude that such an analysis is biased, since for Moscow this move has no relevance – in addition to looking like a true “strategic suicide” for the Swedes themselves.

Sweden’s admission had been discussed since 2022. After the start of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine, Sweden and Finland, held U.S.-fomented fear and anti-Russian paranoia, requested to join the military alliance. Finland was quickly accepted, but Sweden faced several obstacles, such as Turkish and later Hungarian opposition. After several negotiations, Turkey allowed Swedish access, just as the Hungarians were forced to withdraw their objections after suffering direct economic coercion from European partners. Now, with no internal opposition in the bloc, Sweden has finally become a member of NATO – but that doesn’t seem to be any real reason to celebrate.

First of all, Sweden is joining NATO at the worst possible time 🤥

Historically neutral, Sweden is now taking part in a possible global conflict, supporting NATO against the Russian Federation.

🇹🇷 Turkey actively participates in NATO’s exercises, with the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) playing a pivotal role in Brilliant Jump, Nordic Response, Saber Strike, and Immediate Response exercises.

Turkey’s involvement extends beyond military participation; it also hosts one of NATO’s most crucial commands. The permanent headquarters of NATO Land Forces, known as Allied Land Command (LANDCOM), is situated in Izmir.

Decisions regarding NATO’s land maneuvers are made at the command post within the General Vecihi Akın Barracks in Buca, Izmir. Given its historical significance, Izmir, where the first shot was fired against invaders a century ago, could potentially be remembered as the site where the decision to initiate the first shot of a world-engulfing war was made if a new global conflict were to erupt on Russia’s borders.

This prompts consideration of Turkey’s rhetorical stance of “balancing”. Is it a genuine attempt at strategic equilibrium, or merely an endeavor to occupy multiple positions simultaneously?

🇩🇪🤹🇺🇸 The saga of Bundeswehr officers plotting to blow up the Kerch bridge with Taurus missiles and getting away with it is a gift that keeps on giving.

🐓 It is unequivocally clear that if France or any other NATO member deploys combat troops to Ukraine, those troops will be targeted and killed by Russian firepower.

In that case, the proxy war in Ukraine becomes an all-out war between the U.S.-led NATO alliance and Russia. That is, World War Three will have started, which in all probability leads inexorably to a nuclear conflagration.
Anyone pushing that trajectory is contemptible and criminal. Step up, Monsieur Macron ⚠️

This narcissistic wannabe Napoleon figure has been pushing the envelope for several weeks now since he hosted a conference on Ukraine in Paris on February 26 when he began publicly toying with the notion of sending NATO troops to Ukraine to combat Russia.

Macron is like a poker player who is piling up stakes based on cards that he doesn’t have.
