>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)." [1] >Please stop portraying Russia as the Liberating Army when in reality it's more like the Occupying Army. 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?

    Am I talking to a bot or are you just trolling? Ask for a better script. Greater Romania wasn't an empire, this word would make any Romanian laugh. It was a just a bunch of regions inhabited by Romanians for hundreds (more like thousands) of years, that finally managed to unite under the same flag. WW1 destroyed the empires to which the regions belong, so they were free to unite. Sort of like the original United States of America if you wish. If you're looking for an empire look at Russia which was and still is literally the GREATEST EMPIRE OF ALL TIME. No one's greater than Russia.

        As I've already mentioned, no, Romanians weren't free. WW1 liberated them. Really liberated them unlike WW2 with its Russian Liberating Army. I'm gonna ignore your whataboutism. The American states were colonies of the British Empire. They thought, became free, then united. End of story. Yeah, I sort of forgot about the Mongolian empire because I ignore it most of the time. Nevertheless Wikipedia estimates its peak size at 23,500,000 km² while USSR had 22,402,200 km², so they're pretty close.
