You're forgetting that Russia took Moldova from Romania and even today it still wants the same thing. They interfered heavily with last week's referendum that asked if Moldova should join the European Union and NATO. We're not talking about just some ads or fake news. We're talking about buying votes and preparing rebels just in case. So yeah, $39 million reasons to love Russia [1]. What's next, promoting the denazification of Ukraine? Please stop portraying Russia as the Liberating Army when in reality it's more like the Occupying Army.

I forget to mention that we're still waiting for Russia to give our gold back after we sent it to them for safe keeping. We've been waiting for more than a century since the end of the World War I.

> in reality it's more like the Occupying Army. It's not more like, it's outright the occupying army. Russians are the illegal invaders, full stop. Also, don't bother engaging with our resident Russian-supporting troll. Just flag and move on, not worth your energy. Also, să ai o zi faină!

>You're forgetting that Russia took Moldova from Romania You are forgetting that Romania started building its own empire in 1918 and grabbed Moldova from Russia when Russia was incapacitated by the civil war. >They interfered heavily with last week's referendum The interference on the West's part was huge: "Moldova’s presidential election and the constitutional referendum were being closely watched by Moscow, Brussels and Washington, all of which have sought to sway the outcome. The United States and the European Union have offered economic support, including a package worth about $2 billion announced during a recent visit to Moldova by Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission." >reasons to love Russia Many Moldovans who at least don't mind Russia are working in Russia. In 2020-2021's elections Moldova opened 17 voting locations in Russia, but Sandu's pro-Western government opened only 2. This way Moldovan diaspora in Russia was effectively cut off from voting while Moldovan emigrants in EU had no problems. Considering that the margin was very thin (50.35% vs 49.65%) that changed the result of the referendum. "There were more than 50 polling stations in Italy, 17 in the United States, and two in Russia (both in Moscow)."

With few exceptions, after 1945 the USSR controlled the countries which participated in the Nazi's invasion. I don't think any apologies towards Nazi allies are in order. > I forget to mention that we're still waiting for Russia to give our gold back after we sent it to them for safe keeping. It's ironic that you are telling me this at the time when the West grabbed 300 billions of Russian foreign reserves which Russia trusted the West to keep.

  > Romania started building its own empire Romania, empire... Who's this, Mr. Trololo? Come on, as Linus said, "Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too". No one stopped Russia from offering economic support to Moldova, but guess what? Instead pro Russia guys stole one billion dollars. More polling stations are always welcome, but it's not like they come for free. You're also forgetting that the initial pro-Russian strategy was to boycott the referendum. So why have more polling stations if no one will vote? :-) > With few exceptions, after 1945 the USSR controlled the countries which participated in the Nazi's invasion. I don't think any apologies towards Nazi allies are in order. Ok, no apologies needed, but stop with the Liberating Army bullshit. > the West grabbed 300 billions of Russian foreign reserves which Russia trusted the West to keep I don't have enough details to comment, but I guess it's not nice. By the way, did I mention that we're still waiting for our gold to return from Russia?
