Always be with your people, your ancestors… dont fall for crumbs of some vested interest who thrives on divide and rule.
India has a case study of Pakistan, who did that and see its state today…above all crisis .. they have identity crisis.

It looks like the Russians have finally learnt to play the American game: start a movement, gain power, seek Russian protection. A look at the map of the region shows clearly why Moldova is of strategic importance to Russia in the current conflict.

May that movement continue and spread to many countries. What’s the reason why she wants to drag that country into useless conflicts and expose those innocent people for nothing.

Sanctions backfiring heavily on EU. More Slavic countries would join in asking for closer ties with Russia.
The reality is that the economies of the old Eastern block is still shrouded in Soviet era culture, the collective west are not buying their products in comparison with Russia which shares a lot in common with them.

Similar thing happened in Nepal few years back, when communist PM who was pro China was trying to claim land of India as there land and was always giving Anti-Indian statements, PPL of Nepal didn’t like him so protested and made him to back off as president wch he did due to pressure.

Just an observation, many of the women politicians are very pro-US and very obedient, from New Zealand to Norway……….Looks like US finds it easier to endoctrine women politicians…..Such a poor performance of women in politics lately.

Next elections in a lot of EU and Nato countries is going to see a lot of diversity as voting will be influenced by a NATO war entry supporting vs anti-war supporting sentiment ……
