We no longer need to be in Afghanistan...and if we had not screwed over the Kurds so much, would not need to be in Iraq or Syria any longer either!
As for Moldova, Moldova sucks...let Euro's play with that...,y same attitude re: Ukraine...fricken Euro problem...leave us the eff out!
If CIA idiots get caught in the crossfire...
That Eastern sliver is Russian speaking squatters Putin owns...FWIW...
Like I care who their master is...
Transdniestria
IMO different ethnic groups live on a patch of dirt. sometimes they move around over time.
Then govts come and go and draw lines on a map around them.
Sometimes outside forces like the US decide it would be cool to cause trouble by pitting one ethnic group against another. If it leaves the region a smoking cinder who cares?
US marines trained Georgian troops who then attacked Russians in South Ossetia. Russians counter attacked and left Georgia worse off then before but the president got a good think tank job in US DC.
Bald and Bankrupt has a playlist for Moldova. Another corrupt sh*t hole that was better off under USSR.

propaganda or ideology about the brotherhood of man. It was not acceptable to publicly trash ethnic groups. Yes I know all the bad stuff. I always did. To this day, if you desecrate a Koran in public you go to prison. I saw this in social media. Russians call Ukr brother slavs. Ukr call the Russians subhumans and a different race. IMO they each inherited the commie ideology and the NAZI ideology, respectively.
So USSR kept a lid on things and kept ethnic groups from killing each other. Dagestan has 13 different official ethnic groups and 13 official languages. Which 12 groups are the squatters?

I recall a different doc that said that the soviets build giant hydroelectric dams and some factorizes that were destroyed in the civil war. Many Russian tech types fled post USSR.
