Moldova at the crossroads: tensions with Transnistria ahead of EU membership referendum

[@harryhole5786]

Their language is latin. I speak Portuguese and I understand half of their words ! Welcome to Europe.

[@mariamihailescu928]

No word about the fact that they all speak Romanian. Or that Republic of Moldova used to be a part of Romania, until Stalin decided otherwise. Also, no word about the fact that Principality of Moldova was a founding member of Romania.

Transnistria has been under russian army control since 1992 when they invaded this part of Moldova to stop it from unifying with Romania after USSR collapsed. Since then, romanian speaking population has constantly left the region and more russians were relocated there from Russia.

[@3dfxvoodoocards6]

The Reublic of Moldova should reunite with Romania, like East and West Germany did in 1990.

[@pethy1283]

Be very careful with borders in Europe. It could cause a chain reaction in Europe. Because Transylvania could also reunite with Hungary. They were in one state for 1000 years. Gibraltar could also reunite with Spain. Alsace could also reunite with Germany. Sudetenland could also reunite with Germany. Or Macedonia could also reunite with Macedonia (region in Greece bordering with Macedonia). Bosnian Serbs could also unite with Serbia - that could cause a war easily. Or Albania could also unite with Kosovo which could cause a war as well. Changing borders in Europe is very very dangerous. Keeping the status quo means keeping peace. Keeping the status quo is the most important thing. Keeping the status quo means keeping Romania and Moldova separate.

Imagine the problems these russian speakers will create when "Transnistria" will be dissolved and they are under the control of the legal government in Chisinau again. They should offer them generous resettlement programs towards the russian reich and avoid the problems of the Baltics with the remaining population of the former occupants.

[@silvas2308]

These russian speakers are from families of russian soldiers placed there and have russian passports in general, doesn't know language of locals and show no respect to them. These should show more courage to make the first step in happy voyage back to their homeland.
