Such an abhorrent hypocrisy could only come from Kremlin.
lol
Better than become Chinese colony, isn’t it ruZZia?
Somebody’s jelly that someone doesn’t want to play with them anymore.
Yes we EU love invading our neighbours and colonising them. That’s totally how we do it.
Whenever you think you can’t think any lower of russians, they manage to one-up themselves.
Edit: or is it one-down in this case?
Russia: gas station masquerading as a country
As someone born in Moldova and is considering going back – *please West, colonize us uwu.*
And yet Russia occupies a part of Moldova to this day… funny how that Western colonialism works.
Amusing. It’s in fact the other way around. Russia annexed a part of Moldova, deported parts of the population and replaced them with Russians as per their usual MO.
You mean…free and prosperous?
Oof ! The barbarity !!
There is only one colonialist nation in Europe and that is RuZZia. No other country has tried to convert the people it conquered to their national identity and actively tried to erase their own like russia did starting Catherine. I read that the japanese chose to surrender to the US and not USSR for this exact reason. Fuck off Muscovy.
Why are we even listening to what the Kremlin thinks?
For some obscure reason the living standards of Transnistria and the occupied Donbass do not convince anyone to join the Russians.
This is basically the narrative in Serbia and Hungary as well. Now we know why.
Ah the age old Russian strategy since Soviet times, always accuse your enemy of doing what you’re about to do first.
Ah, well. Moldova, as we all are well aware, should only ever fall prey to Eastern colonialism.
Higher living standard?
Ability to travel and work in other countries?
Less corruption and separation of powers?
More stringent requirements for free and fair elections?
Russia: Moldova! Can’t you see how evil those Euro-Nazis will take over your country? Don’t you worry, Russia will come and save you as soon as we get Ukraine sorted…
Western Imperialism in 2023: „Ok, you’re free to do whatever you want. Just don’t be a gigantic jerk and don’t do genocide or invade another country.“
Russian Imperialism in 2023: „Alright, So: How do you want to be exterminated? Should we send your kids to Russia and erase their identity or should we just massacre you right away?“
## Bully child says small neighbor is about to become a victim of playing with nicer kids.
Yes by becoming richer and more free. Damn that western liberalism.
Finally, we have become a colonial superpower! Tremble nearby Russian Oblasts, for when we will colonize you for you the great Romanian Empire we will impose our mediocre healthcare system, a slightly less bloated bureaucratic system, growing opportunities, actual freedom and not as corrupt elections!
We will exploit your aging population by actually giving them a pension, while the rest will have to face the supermarkets filled with other genuine European products like real Parmigiano or German sausages!
I came to visit Moldova just yesterday and already this happens?
oh no… anyway.
The transition period was difficult for many post-Soviet bloc countries. In some cases, the western bloc did colonise their economies, but EU membership allowed those countries to mitigate the negative effects of economic transformation.
As always, inverted logic: west says moldova is set to become a victim of russian colonialism.
Is that a threat?
Russia building up its Casus Belli i see.
I visited Moldova (and Transnistria) last year and couldn’t believe how divided they were. My tour guide from Transnistria lamented that the Ukrainians were fighting with their “brothers” from Russia.
>She noted that the defeat had come despite an “unprecedented campaign of repression of the opposition and independent media, direct blackmail of voters, discrimination against candidates based on their spoken language, and even a direct ban of the competition.”
Tell me more about what Putin is doing.
Why do we share Russian bullshit?
I’m sure at this point they believe in the worldview they keep telling others, especially Patrushev, he’s always been more ideological. But, like…siiiiiigh. It’s not even worth writing articles about. An official said some bullshit aimed at another country in a routing meeting, big deal, let’s all circlejerk about how annoying these guys are.
“Against the opinion of their own people”, I get that denial of agency is a big thing in authoritarianism, but my brother in Christ, they literally voted for this, and if you don’t deny the election results, then why bother with this?
Oh no, Moldova is trying to get away from the murderous Psychopath to its east!
