Lviv is Bandera central,when I say Afghanistan 2,I don't mean the steppe or near Kiev,I mean Ruthenia,that is the heart of fascism in the country and I don't think Russia will willingly take it in a million years

And the girlfriend was actually a jar of prego

You tell me that Russia will willingly take over Lviv and I'll tell you I have a bridge in Crimea to sell you

Edit: Nevermind,re read the comment

Still,I can't fathom a world where Russia does Afghanistan 2 Wheat Field Boogaloo no matter how much Ukraine kills itself

If Ukraine is ever in the position of having fucking core Ruthenia be annexed it would have collapsed already

Oh,I almost forgot

I would like to explain my "Russia or Romania" stance

You are correct,I do believe many countries in the world today should not exist,either because they are colonial constructs or because they just aren't viable as states

Basically,let's take for example the Caribbean islands

There are many nations there,but they basically exist as puppets of the US,sans Cuba, wouldn't it make more sense for them to unite into a federation to be able to become stronger together and combat US influence? The other example I have in my mind is Nasser's UAR. To me it just makes more sense for countries to band together into larger entities to combat US influence. You have made a valuable point when you pointed out that as it stands,it would be more like an annexation of Moldova than a true unification. But I personally do think that the European microstates shouldn't exist,not should the Gulf States,or Singapore,with the latter two being products of colonialism and the other ones pointless anachronisms.

Fair,I could see the US tossing the Bugeac away to Moldova

I will concede that my wording is crude and my opinions maximalist

Basically I'd ideally want something like the Union State with Moldova

I'm thinking now that my insistence on unification is the result of impulsiveness and not thinking through about my replies

I agree with your sentiment,and I'm gonna say that my support basically boils down to passively saying that if it were to happen I wouldn't complain,just as I wouldn't complain if Moldova didn't join the EU,but you are right,I'm looking over my wording and it worryingly sounds like Simion or god forbid Ferdinand the first

Also I would like to put a disclaimer,these were personal opinions and should in no way be treated as fact, please do not adopt a pro west stance on this issue as a result of my posts,I was just throwing my opinion out there to see what people would think,I am very much fallible and even though I'm form the region,that doesn't mean I am an unbiased source of information

I appreciate the educational rebuttals offered and I would advise people to look at both perspectives but give more credence to the ones who utilized actual historical sources,which wasn't mine

That would mean taking territory from Ukraine,also Pridniestrovie was never a part of that, seeing as it's on the other side of the Dniester

I don't think Pridniestrovie will ever be Moldovan,nor should it be

Gagauzia too,for that matter,but they'd have a considerably harder time being independent,so again,we come back to either Romania or Russia taking over because these are not viable states

Personally,if they feel Russia would align more with their interests,let them join

I seriously doubt anything like Kosovo would happen,but then again,this is the west we're talking about,but our azovs are still woefully disorganized and frankly a joke

Saw it,replied

Well,we'd almost have our pre fall of communism population again :)....for one second before half of the new population it goes to Germany or Italy...again...

Now,for the serious answer,I can't fully say I know,but probably most will just bolster the already existing parties,with some regionalist ones forming, probably very small

Well also have a new Szeklerland: Gagauzia,which will probably have something like the UDMR (Hungarian minority union of parties, basically a parliament bloc as a party) but for them

More strain on the economy,and we'll have a new Moldova inside of us (Romanian Moldova is the least developed,so the joke is that they'll become the new Moldova)

I think with the US pivot to the Middle East, Ukraine will fall by the wayside and with it,the hard line EU has against Russia

Most likely the US will cut Ukraine loose,force the EU to take the truncated western remnant into the EU and force it to foot the bill to fully kill the euro and the organization and that Moldova will be tossed in as a bonus

Frankly, Transnistrias future is with Russia,that is set in stone

As for Moldova,yeah, it'll probably become a Romanian appendage, which I'm not opposed to

Maybe I'm wrong,but I think they wanna capture the country before Russia wins the war in Ukraine

And yeah,they said it'd join by 2030,so not anytime soon

They're still Marshall planning it though, though maybe the money faucet will die down after the war ends

I think the fear is Russia is forced to take Odessa and it'll link up to Transnistria and they possibly wanna draw a strong partitioning line before that
