Trouble Ahead for Moldova?

[OwenCisneros]

Just came across this article:

https://www.rand.org/pubs/commentary/2025/07/countering-russian-influence-support-for-armenia-georgia.html

Experts say Moldova is getting drawn deeper into the West–Russia standoff, even though it officially maintains neutrality. The EU and the UK are showing support through funding, military training, and technical assistance. Meanwhile, Russia continues to exert pressure—especially via Transnistria, where its troops and weapons depots remain.

Parliamentary elections are coming up in September, and they might tip the scales one way or the other. People in Moldova are divided: some fear war, others fear falling back under Russian influence.

Is there really no way for Moldova to stay neutral and maintain stability at the same time?

16oz NY strip. Medium. Balsamic on the salad. Side of broccoli. Wife had chicken quesadillas. With the senior discount, it was 39 bucks total.
Texas Corral. Daily between 2p and 5p, 20% of for old farts.
Out of the last 10 or so weeks of doing this once a week, I've only had one steak that wasn't up to par-too much gristle. The next week they gave me a strip that had to weigh above 20oz.
No, it's not Copper Rock but still a damm good steak.

BTW - why do you keep posting this crap? We all can read news online.

Been a crazy day here. Took Mitty to the vet for stitches. My sis-in-law decided to trim behind his ears, made a 3" incision in the skin. So antibiotics, pain meds, stitches . . . $400.

Then to my rheumatologist for a cortisone shot into my wrist.

Then to the eye doctor because they screwed up my glasses and I needed to have another consult, exam so they can grind the lenses properly this time.

Then back to pick up Mitty from the vet's office. Got home at 4:45pm.

My friend dropped off some eggs from his chickens, so I had those, over easy, on top of some leftover meatloaf.

@Melensdad you should have asked vet for shot it would ne 1/2 the price
