If you were living in Moldavia, you should absolutely be. There is no question that Moldavia is next on the list.
This whole thing is actually a very brutal way of finding out how future warfare goes. From an intelligence standpoint, the West has no need to end this war, the longer it drags on, the more one can find out about weapons, old and new, and how efficient they are/will be in the future. The sad thing is the Ukranians are the cannon fodder/losers, no matter which way it goes.
What we learned so far: Drones seem to be an efficient way to fight a war for an unprepared enemy. Less efficient are warships. I have often wondered if aircraft carriers are still worth it. In WW2, they were powerful weapons because they could hide in the vast oceans, and had a reasonable chance to survive an aerial attack. That is no longer true now. The fact is, to sink a $0.1-2billion ship it takes at most $1M of rockets. Even a randon Ukranian rocket sank the Russian commando vessel (with pot luck, probably). So why still build $2b aircrarft carriers?
