  3. Transnistria was foolish for not negotiating peace sooner. The closer Russia gets the higher the chance there is a preemptive invasion by the West to stop Russia from reaching there.

  4. France will support Moldova. That's very good. Our country should also limit all imported wine to Moldovan wine. Moldova is the birthplace of wine.

  21. This is a problem of their own making, no one else's. If you cannot be a loyal member of society, shove off and bow to your dictatorial leader somewhere else. No holding any weapons to anyone's throat.
