@RomCom1989@hexbear.net I’m posting a reply as a separate post as it’s easier for me to respond to all of your points.

This might be a controversial take,but I’m frankly pro the west winning on this one

Moldova is basically owned by the US embassy, see: https://thegrayzone.com/2023/05/18/leaked-recordings-state-corruption-moldova/

Moldova getting integrated into the imperial structures even more will be a disaster for its population. Moldova is already embargoing Pridnistrovie (Transnistria is the name proposed by the Romanian invaders when they conquered the region.) which makes it incredibly hard for the people living there in that small enclave. Moldova needs to “fix” it’s “problem” in Pridnistrovie to join NATO and EU which means to destroy it passively or actively. Even if the pro EU cucks are in charge which want Romania to annex Moldova, majority of the population is opposed even with their 24/7 propaganda about Russian influence and how Moldova needs to “unite” with Romania.

Now, obviously I don’t support the EU or western interests expanding,but,and this may be chauvinist brainworms,I do believe Moldova’s future

Moldova was never “romanian” this is Great Romania chauvinist brainworms indeed. Moldova was its own thing dating back to the 1400s or earlier, even sources adopted by Romanian historiographers admit this.

Either us or Russia

Romania had a committee for the romanianization and colonization of Moldova:

Translation: Directorate of Romanianization, Colonization and Inventory

If you are interested you can see how badly Moldovans were treated after the “unification” of 1918 here https://moldovapentrumoldoveni.wordpress.com/2012/07/30/documente-din-vremea-anexarii-de-la-1918/. Keep in mind it it isn’t a Marxist source, just pro-Moldovan historiography which is hard to find already.

Again,this is the only point where I believe Romania’s interests should align with the west

The same rhetoric was used in WW2 that Romania was to ally with Nazi germany to “gain back Moldova”. We saw where the Great Romania rhetoric has lead.

If the EU project can limp along enough for us to practically reunite before it dies,I’d see that as a win.

The EU wants to Romania to “unite” with Moldova so it can exploit Moldova through the Romanian state apparatus this is not something you should be praising.

Moldova is sacked by the western imperialists already and the president must push out constant propaganda to make the people not rebel against her and by promising hopes and dreams of a better future via the EU when it will result in mass privatizations and brain drain and etc even worse than now.

it’ll probably become a Romanian appendage, which I’m not opposed to

Why are you wishing for capitalist Romania to annex a sovreign nation in the name of “unity”? This is all Great Country brainworms.

The video you have linked is produced by a pro EU shitlib rag:

Ziarul de Gardă also won the Delegation of the European Union in the "Media against disinformation disinformation’. Fact proved - investigations journalistic investigations are the best cure against corruption and disinformation. Throughout the year, ZdG has deconstructed and uncovered falsehoods and myths who and how much they spend on disinformation and encouraged the community readers to think critically

It is LITERALLY sponsored by the NED/CIA and USAID and the US embassy:

Please stop spreading “Moldova is Romania” talking points that only fascists use, especially to people not familiar with the history of the region.

edit:

Basically what you’re saying already happened,so they wouldn’t see a drop in quality of life,like then, because they are already gutted

Yes it would see a drop in quality of life due to EU pillaging and NATO occupation and turn it against BRICS/Russia even more so it becomes ingrained with Europe.

“Moldova got already sacked by the West so it won’t get any worse if they join western power structures!”

I have a theory that thanks to the precedent Israel has handed western governments, if George Floyd-style rebellions ever broke out again people will be gunned down in droves, not just beatings, mass round ups, or maiming with “sub-lethal” rounds but straight up firing squads and police bombs with mass use of armed drones sniping people which will be blamed on “gang/outside agitator violence”

Where is the Netanyahu compound located? Does he use civilians as human shields?

Maybe having his house blown up will teach Bibi what it’s like to be without a home, you know, learn some empathy.

Ah hell who am I kidding, empathy is a foreign concept to Zionazis.

The defi lending protocol Tapioca DAO was exploited after an attacker reportedly socially engineered the DAO’s co-founder and gain access to their private key. The attacker then used their access to sell off TAP tokens, and to drain a stablecoin liquidity pool on the platform, netting around $4.4 million in USDC and ETH. The TAP token price subsequently crashed by around 96%.

Various security researchers have observed that the attack appears to be linked to a slew of social engineering attacks perpetrated by cybercriminals out of North Korea.

Bit idea: Tell the libs in your life that you agree with them that the Ukraine war has to end and that “it is possible that Russia has made mistakes”. Tell them you support a two-state solution that guarantees Russian security.

This might be a controversial take,but I’m frankly pro the west winning on this one

Moldova is in a tug of war between Russia and the EU at the moment,and it looks like both are going all out.

Now, obviously I don’t support the EU or western interests expanding,but,and this may be chauvinist brainworms,I do believe Moldova’s future,minus Transnistria is to be reunited with us. Either us or Russia, because as it stands it’s really not viable as a state. Again,this is the only point where I believe Romania’s interests should align with the west.If the EU project can limp along enough for us to practically reunite before it dies,I’d see that as a win.Either way maybe we can work out something like a Romanian-Moldovan Schengen since neither of us are getting in the actual one and pave the way for reunification.

John Mearsheimer and Jeffrey Sachs | All-In Summit 2024 (1h video)

Their liberalism shows through quite a bit: they “love liberal democracy” and line-go-up and all that. Still some good discussion regarding Ukraine, Russia, China, India, Iran, and Palestine/Isntrael.

Drone Assassination attempt on Netenyahu, the drone hit his home, but he wasn’t in it.

Looks like Russia about to be discarded by China like a used toy. I have already warned of this since earlier in the year when signs begin to emerge, and recent indications are all pointing toward the same direction.

Let’s see what this article from a Chinese academic in Australia has to say:

Why China now wants to put some limits on its ‘no limits’ friendship with Russia

Quoting a few banger paragraphs here:

In sharp contrast to 2022, China’s growing wariness is increasingly being discussed in the open, even among those who were previously censored. In early 2022, for instance, a joint letter by six Chinese emeritus historians opposing Russia’s invasion was censored by the government. The scholars were also warned.

Now, however, it appears the government is seeking to balance its relationships with both Russia and the West. Beijing may not want to be seen as a “decisive enabler” of the war.

For example, the once-prominent “no-limits” friendship language quietly vanished from a Sino-Russian joint statement in May.

And Beijing’s response to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit that month was notably subdued. Putin ingratiated himself with Xi, saying they were “as close as brothers”. Xi’s response was more perfunctory – he called Putin a “good friend and a good neighbour”.

lol Putin must be sad.

Scholars are also articulating their concerns about China’s political and economic investments in Russia, both publicly and privately.

Shen Dingli, a leading scholar of Chinese security strategy at Fudan University in Shanghai, said China doesn’t want to be seen as collaborating with Russia against Ukraine or any other country.

He also quoted Fu Cong, China’s former ambassador to the European Union, who said last year the “no-limits” [friendship] is “nothing but rhetoric”.

And in August, after Putin referred to China as an “ally” during a visit to far-eastern Russia, Chinese scholars promptly sought to clarify this statement to prevent any misunderstanding China wants a formal alliance with Russia.

Putin, after being rejected by Europe, sought to pursue a relationship with China only to be rejected again.

As Feng Yujun, director of Fudan University’s Russia and Central Asia Study Centre, argued, the Wagner rebellion was a reflection of Russia’s internal conflicts and domestic security challenges. He noted every time Russia has faced both internal and external crises in history, its regimes have become less stable.

More recently, Feng has been even bolder, predicting Russian defeat in Ukraine. He argued China should keep its distance from Moscow and resume a policy of “non-alignment, non-confrontation and non-partisanship”.

lmao

While Russia-China trade reached a record US$240 billion (A$360 billion) in 2023, it has slowed so far this year, as Chinese financial institutions have sought to limit connections with Russia.

The relationship still heavily favours Beijing. Russia accounts for only 4% of China’s trade, while China accounts for nearly 22% of Russia’s trade.

Many Chinese experts are now warning against an over-dependence on Russia, instead calling for more cooperation with neighbouring countries. This echoes a recent concern Russia has been using its natural resources as a bargaining chip to extract greater benefits from China.

It is absurd to think that Russia could ever replace the West as the main economic partner for China without any kind of ideological commitment. As long as China wants to remain a global net exporter country instead of a domestic consumption oriented economy, it is never going to give up the American and European consumer markets. That means Russia will have to be sacrificed at some point.

Zhao Long, deputy director of the Shanghai Institute of International Relations, says there is an important difference in how they view the world:

Russia wants to destroy the current international system to build a new one. China wants to transform the current system by taking a more prominent place in it.

Yes, you heard that right. Russia wants to destroy the current system and build a new one. China wants to transform the current neoliberal system by taking a more prominent place in it lol.

Recently, Feng Yujun warned China risks being led by the nose by Russia, despite being the stronger economic partner. He says every time China has attempted an alliance with Russia in history, it has had negative consequences for China.

Consequently, it is crucial for China to maintain its long-term partnership with Russia without undermining its constructive relationship with the West.

lol yes it is the relationship with the West that is constructive. Russia is just a spare tire.

Russia has arguably benefited from the current competition between the US and China, as it has sought to exploit the rivalry for its own benefit. But this has also led to uncertainty in the China-Russia relationship.

As another analyst, Ji Zhiye, argues, relying too heavily on Russia will leave China isolated and vulnerable. And this is not a position China wants to be in.

I guess relying on the West is a much safer option for China then.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the coup against liberals over the past two years has failed. They really have made a come back. Chinese banks succumbing to US secondary sanctions on Russia was alarming. The recent monetary easing policy that closely followed the US Federal Reserve rate cut has all but confirmed this.

The same Shanghai libs who screwed up Zero Covid so bad that the entire country had to give up on the policy that had worked so well for nearly 3 years, are now begging the central leadership to save the stock and property markets and mend relationships with Western capital.

Just like Ukraine is about to be discarded by the US, Russia too will soon experience the same fate of being discarded by China. Going to be interesting to see how the BRICS summit goes next week.

According to Telegram resistance may have just drone striked Bibi’s house, tons of cops there and media has been shut out, it’s not clear if he was home tho
