  "He knows about First Ukraine, but has he heard of Second Ukraine?"
  Worst hobbit ever! >
  
  That Took is a Gamgee in comparison >
  
  A graveyard for Russian rapists? >
  
  Moldova can't resist the same way Ukraine does. >
  
  I'd argue against that. Transnistria has no land connection to russia and any planes to resupply would be targeted by ukrainian air defense regardless. Russia would be absolutely destroyed if they tried that offensive and this is purely russian internal propaganda at play >
  
  Like Zelensky keeps saying if the world thinks Putin is going to stop at Ukraine they're clueless. Give Ukraine whatever the fuck they need now. >
  
  If Russia isn’t stopped in Ukraine, they’ll have to be stopped in the next country over, or the next, or the next. Best to get it out of the way early. >
  
  Wasn’t there another guy in Europe at some point that ran through countries because of appeasement policies? 
  If we could go back and handle that time differently knowing what happened, we would right? Like, we’d know it was truly a slippery slope to let him just start gobbling up neighbors? >
  
  I know when I'm locked in a stalemate with a guy 1/5th my size the first thing I do is turn to his friend and say "You're next, pal." >
  
  Thank you for making my day with that visual. I was left with the facial expression by the  bigger guy.... utterly perplexed. >
  
  With the same ease we can state that Russia's actions are  “fundamental threats” against the rest of the World. >
  
  Thereby making the case that everyone has to back Ukraine and winning this war quickly and decisively. Bullies need to be put back in their box. >
  
  They were already planning on that anyways. 
  Transnistria anyone? >
  
  Yeah- stonewalled in Ukraine by nato reinforcement? Take the easy route in the meantime.
  Even if Romania/nato et all throw in to help it’ll take a lot longer than sending the drugged out goons through the “disputed regions”. >
  
  Translation: every country that used to be part of the soviet bloc, should join NATO and/or the EU ASAP. >
  
  Watch out or we’ll lose 150,000 lives in your country next. >
  
  Hehe after Ukraine they will need to attack Moldovia with women because all ruzzian men would be wiped out. >
  
  Oh crap. So is that what they were referring to as the February 24 surprise? I can kinda see how it would make sense from the Russian point of view, both militarily and politically. They’re stuck in Ukraine. They need to come up with a “new plan”. Moldova is trying to join the EU. They’re geographically kinda reachable for the Russian military. The Russians will probably think they’re an easy enemy. If they score a victory there it would be huge for morale at home, and would offer a second flank from which to continue attacks on Ukraine. It’s crazy but factoring in how crazy “Russia logic” appears in general, it makes sense. >
  
  Will Russia begin recruiting from retirement homes?? >
  
  Threats is all russia has left. They certainly dont have any military or diplomatic power. >
  
  Fucking Russian government- the bear needs to be put down. No country is safe until the bear is neutered. >
  
  Diplomat is one thing. 
  Dipshit is another. 
  This guy is a Dipshit if he thinks that's diplomacy. >
  
  Moldova would get the full support of NATO for sure.
  Sadly in reality the response time to arm and train Moldova to resist would be nearly impossible.
  Literal man power problem there for sure…
  This is a gnarlier threat than many realize. Moldova is in a very fucked position right now. Even direct Ukrainian support (which isn’t feasible) wouldn’t be fast enough to prevent some seriously dark shit.
  Russia even bungling things has turned out to be less funny and mostly just fucking horrible. >
  
  Muscovy's got massive trouble chewing what they've already bitten off and they want to stuff some more in there... when what they should really do is spit. 
  Like a damn child. >
  
  What a great way to win over more allies. >
  
  and influence enemies... >
  
  Ah yes, good old shotgun "diplomacy". >
  
  God the Russians talk a lot of shit for a country that's getting its ass handed to it. >
  
  You and what army? >
  
  Freaking delusional, all of them 🙄
