North Macedonia is in a naming dispute with Greece because Greece has the province of Macedonia
That's why they went from FYROM to North Macedonia
They have this whole conflict about Macedonia stealing the name and cultural heritage of a Greek region when they're slavic
With the caveat that border checks between the two and Hungary will be kept for six months,with the possibility of that period being extended
This "compromise" got the Austrians to fold
Hardly call this a democracy,even in the western sense
The Americans and the PSD junta have decided just two days before the second round to get off their ass to fight this supposed interference
They already mostly have,joint citizenship has been a thing since 2007,now it's either people who were too young to leave,pro Russia people and people who were too poor to leave
Oh and to add to the point made about Pridniestrovie,my personal opinion is that they will be cut loose and tossed to Russia in the process of accession to the EU, simply because once Ukraine dies down,the US will force the EU to eat up whatever remains of it,and Moldova with it,to fully kill it as a viable organization.
However,in the worst case scenario,where war breaks out,if Moldova attacks/is attacked, Romania will absolutely join in. As for what NATO will do,well,I suspect we'll find out during Trump's second term that NATO is now a tiered subscription service and that, conveniently enough,Eastern European nations don't get the full premium package,but something like the Ukrainian subscription plan.
A small balm to the soul for me is that if we have a Ukraine 2 here,my hometown will be in the Russian occupied zone, seeing as the county it's in is a border county,with a Lipovan Russian minority. Silver linings I guess.
Holy shit,thank Christ
I'm the dummy who NAFOposted about Moldova,and I got my ass rightfully schooled,but thank Christ!Our brothers have broken free from the West!(This time)
I was dooming about this,but it looks like we won't be dragged into an inevitable Moldovan conflict and that the West's influence here really is waning!My god,what a crack in the facade!
Rejoice!You were right and I was wrong!
Maybe I'm huffing copium again,but this looks like a ray of hope for our future too.Their influence is waning! Obviously here it's still deeply entrenched,but maybe there's hope?
Edit: nevermind,it's looking really tight and there's still 3% more of the vote to be counted, looks like it's gonna be down to the wire
Unrelated,but we have this word in Romanian too,seems we picked it up from the Yiddish, because it means the exact same thing
I would refrain from making any predictions on what the Axis of Resistance will or won't do in the future
They have access to a lot more information than we do and are acting in the most efficient way they can
I don't buy into the doomerism regarding the Iranian response simply because I believe Iran is competent and knows how to accomplish it's goals most effectively according to the greater amount of knowledge it has of the situation on the ground and is probably acting in such a way as to not potentially escalate the situation where it would put the lives of even more people at risk than now
Z's clues
Wtf did NATO put in the water in talinn?
It's like they harnessed all the latent Nazism in post WW2 eastern Europe and distilled it into a nation
