So Russia invades under false pretences then gets angsty that other countries are helping the invaded country defend itself? The phrase ‘bite me’ comes to mind.
Also, just seen reports on the BBC about several explosions in the separatist region of Transnistria. Regardless of whether this is Moldova attacking or a false-flag attack by Russian forces, this will likely be part of a move to bring Transnistria into the war, which will no doubt see Moldova enter as well.
Russia is estimated to have circa 1,500 troops in Transnistria and I’m unsure if such a small number is big enough to hold off a reather small country like Moldova. Its not like Russia could quickly get over there to help if things are going sideways.
The main concern I’d have is over further spillover. Romania is a very close ally to Moldova and could well join any war in Transnistria. Romania is Nato member and Russia could use this as justification for further aggression on its part. Nato likely would anticipate this and convince Romania to stay out though.
