      400000 of them haven’t done much progress the last 2 years so don’t expect another few thousands to be a game changer…

        It’s not “another few thousands”. Moldova isn’t Ukraine. Moldova basically has no army or gear. They cannot defend themselves and they have no allies to defend them either because of their neutrality clause.

          You make it sound so easy but such a nice means moving Russian through Ukraine (= from Ukraine) which will weaken positions in Ukraine where there is a raging war already …

            What? “Transnistria” is right next to Moldova. Those troops do not have to move through Ukraine at all.

                  With every fighting soldier, like fx infantry, there are between 2-10 in support, depending if you just count logistics / med or include artillery and similar.

                  So your 1500 would mean around 500 with long term fighting capability.

                  Yeah… I think you need to move in some more troops if you expect shit to hit the fan.

                  Do you want to move those troops through Ukraine or from the sea, right next to Ukraine?

                  Heard anything special regarding Russian troop transport ships near Ukraine lately?
