    Holy shit,thank Christ

    I'm the dummy who NAFOposted about Moldova,and I got my ass rightfully schooled,but thank Christ!Our brothers have broken free from the West!(This time)

    I was dooming about this,but it looks like we won't be dragged into an inevitable Moldovan conflict and that the West's influence here really is waning!My god,what a crack in the facade!

    @rainn@hexbear.net

    @cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml

    Rejoice!You were right and I was wrong!

    Maybe I'm huffing copium again,but this looks like a ray of hope for our future too.Their influence is waning! Obviously here it's still deeply entrenched,but maybe there's hope?

    Edit: nevermind,it's looking really tight and there's still 3% more of the vote to be counted, looks like it's gonna be down to the wire

    Well,my hope is that all nations of the world will find liberation,and that doubly goes for nations who experience more than the usual yoke of neocolonialism,but instead are direct colonies, directly under the boot of the empire,like Puerto Rico. May the future bring your people freedom,peace and a better life,where you will be able to breathe freely in a land of your own.

    Yeah,it's like asking what Andrew Tate thought of Romania

    SMH,as much as I have my misgivings about Ceausescu,that mf would have been taken by the Securitate and shot day one in his Romania

    Yeah,Im reconsidering my words, because god damn,after taking a second look I sound practically the same as a pro NATO polack

    I guess it was a mix of ingrained chauvinism paired with some hope that maybe we could find a future together,but no, you're right

    In an ideal world we'd have something like the Union State and we'd begin to reconcile,but this isn't that world

    Now,for my verdict on whether or not the referendum will pass,I'm sorry to say,but I definitely think it will

    Unless we see a similar SMO happen there,I believe the US and the EU have them by the gonads and this is the last twist before their subordination

    Hopefully Transnistria and Gagauzia can peel away in the chaos,but the way I see it,the rot runs deep and they're on track to becoming a shittier Romania

    I dunno,I just wanted to hope that we didn't sell our souls to Brussels for nothing and that at least we'd be reunited with Moldova

    Edit:That was me having a vain hope that we could pull the same trick we did during our history,duping and playing empires against each other for our benefit,but you're right,the US is no Porte and there's no equivalent to Tzarist Russia or Austria now to use to our leverage just yet

    God its depressing to think the fucking phanariots had more agency then our current ruling class does

    Beautifully put

    I believe this goes even further in the case of Balkan and Southern Eastern European nations,you can see my comment in reply to commrade Redcuban1959 (I don't know how to link it)

    Oh,I almost forgot

    I would like to explain my "Russia or Romania" stance

    You are correct,I do believe many countries in the world today should not exist,either because they are colonial constructs or because they just aren't viable as states

    Basically,let's take for example the Caribbean islands

    There are many nations there,but they basically exist as puppets of the US,sans Cuba, wouldn't it make more sense for them to unite into a federation to be able to become stronger together and combat US influence? The other example I have in my mind is Nasser's UAR. To me it just makes more sense for countries to band together into larger entities to combat US influence. You have made a valuable point when you pointed out that as it stands,it would be more like an annexation of Moldova than a true unification. But I personally do think that the European microstates shouldn't exist,not should the Gulf States,or Singapore,with the latter two being products of colonialism and the other ones pointless anachronisms.

    I will concede that my wording is crude and my opinions maximalist

    Basically I'd ideally want something like the Union State with Moldova

    I'm thinking now that my insistence on unification is the result of impulsiveness and not thinking through about my replies

    I agree with your sentiment,and I'm gonna say that my support basically boils down to passively saying that if it were to happen I wouldn't complain,just as I wouldn't complain if Moldova didn't join the EU,but you are right,I'm looking over my wording and it worryingly sounds like Simion or god forbid Ferdinand the first

    Also I would like to put a disclaimer,these were personal opinions and should in no way be treated as fact, please do not adopt a pro west stance on this issue as a result of my posts,I was just throwing my opinion out there to see what people would think,I am very much fallible and even though I'm form the region,that doesn't mean I am an unbiased source of information

    I appreciate the educational rebuttals offered and I would advise people to look at both perspectives but give more credence to the ones who utilized actual historical sources,which wasn't mine

  • God fucking damnit I hate these people I'm mainly posting this to vent,and I would recommend that you don't watch that video unless you want a lethal dose of NATO bootlicking beamed straight into your frontal cortex But holy mother of god are these people making my blood boil The constant trashing of our past,the disgustingly pathetic way they praise the more "westernized" and "Nordic" countries in here,the fucking EU bootlicking, cheering on the slaughter of Ukraine and Pooh Poohing Russia as if it's the main villain,it drives me nuts! This mf slave to the west is a Georgian,so he is especially obnoxious, considering his country was the proto-Ukraine and he has a chip on his shoulder about that. My god,I don't wanna sound insensitive or racist,but I just have to ask,is this how POC feel when they see other POC going to bat for the democrats? I truly don't mean to equate our struggle with theirs,but god damn,I feel like these people are so mentally colonized that they can't see a future where they aren't at the beck and call of the West. And it's like,YOU SHOULD FUCKING KNOW BETTER,YOU FUCK,YOU LIVED HERE!YOU SAW WHAT SHOCK THERAPY DID TO US,HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU CONTINUE TO SING THE PRAISES OF THE EU AND NATO? I'm sorry if this post doesn't fit the comm,but god fucking damnit are these people insufferable,him and that Living Ironically fuck, constantly shitting on communism but praising the public transport (WHICH THE COMMIES BUILT!) and other tomfuckery. The one video that really made me lose my shit was when the Living guy (serbo-hungarian) shat on the legacy of Tito and Yugoslavia as a whole, that one was a bridge too far for me. Shit on Ceausescu,fine,he was no great angel,USSR hate I'm used to,but you,as a serb,who was born in Serbia,to shit on the most impressive success story of the balkans and trash the amazing progress that was done then just because you didn't have the treats of today and the ability to desert your country and flee to the busom of empire fucking makes me not only ashamed,but impossibly angry. This part of the globe is nothing special,we aren't the center of it,and we are not free from the worst exceses of the West either,we practically keep the Roma population as an underclass and we gladly killed off our Jewish population and collaborated with the Hun(not Gary,but the sauerkraut eating one), not to mention the appalling misogyny and anti LGBTQ sentiment that practically permeates the air around here,but god damn,can't we look for a way to address these issues and fix them without getting dogwalked by the West? FOR FUCKS SAKE,SOME PROGRESS WAS DONE UNDER SOCIALISM EVEN,AND WE JUST TOSSED IT OUT! But no, fuck that, let's keep doing the funny stealing and ethnic cleansing jokes while gargling on the western boot! No pride whatever about the accomplishments we actually had,no desire to actually see the place get better beyond le corruption bad lol,no vision for the future. I'm sorry this became a rant,but I needed a place to unload. If there's a better comm to post this in,I'd be glad to delete the post. And I'm glad to delete it if my comparison to the struggle of POC in America is in poor taste.
