Nope. Considering that Transnistria does not have a nazi problem.

They also have an active military just slightly smaller than Moldova.

Not yet..

I'm sure the FSB will find a treasure trove of homosexual Nazi paraphernalia..and I'm sure some will be aptly named "The Gulp of Tonkin" which will lead to the immediate need for "de-nazification" by actual Nazis, which is weird..

The Ukrainian General Staff are reporting that the Russian forces in the region have been brought to full combat alert.

Now why would we need to get in a damn shooting war over Taiwan?

They are a break away province from China. The peace talks between China and Taiwan dont go the US's way, so we the US declare special military operations on China. While liberating the nearby, to Taiwan, Fuijan province we also hit Beijing even though its hundreds of miles away.

For good measure we also kick off the separtist movements in Tibet.

Can you not see that there isca difference between promising not to engage in conflict (expanding NATO) vs promising to insert ourselves into a conflict? Our default position should be to avoid these regional skirmishes as much as possible. Taiwan is not worth the potential blowback and consequences.

But taiwan is worth it for China and Ukraine is worth it Russia?

You're about to take a hit on this take.

Pretty sure this "hit" went wide.

There is a major difference in questioning both sides, and what the Russian apologists are doing ITT. I have called out several of the propaganda pieces used by Ukraine and been able to have reasonable conversations with the "pro Ukrainians" about those specific cases.

So are you wanting to see a conflict in Transnistria now?

The Moldovan military is about the same size as Transnistria's military.

Nope. But I’d guess that’s ultimately up to your stooge commander Pootin at this point. Magic 8 Ball says outlook not good.

Watched an interesting video on the comparisons between the Winter War and the Ukraine War (does this have a name yet?). Guy talking was saying the objectives for both sides were the same. Russia wanted to protect/guarentee access to a waterway and deny their future enemy access to certain border. In both wars the defenders victory conditions are similar too. Last long enough where continued Russian aggression isnt worth it. Maintain the illusion long enough where russia doesnt see a quick out via military actions.

In the Winter War the Finns lied to their people and the Russians about their losses and the strategic position they were in, maybe only two weeks more of fighting. Ukraine has definitely won the propaganda war and makes good use of the micro victories to keep a near constant celebration going so the tune of the PR never turns against them, despite otherwise real noticable losses. Hard to tell how they are really doing.

The differences are the support Ukraine gets vs what Finland got, and Ukraine is on slightly more equal terms with Russia than Finland was. Also Ukraine had 8 years between rounds of fighting to address military issues, so they may have started slightly better as well.
