Re: US Foreign Policy 2.0: Have you read Kipling, Mr. Tillerson?
I was in an Indianapolis hotel in 2006 on a work trip and the desk clerk had "Moldova" on her name tag (she was also a 9, because Moldova). I started talking to her about Transdniestria and she looked like she would have left her job and followed me anywhere. I assume 99.9% of Americans, and 100% of Indianans, had absolutely zero idea about what Moldova was. Perhaps some goth thought it was Moldavia.
Anyway, if Ukraine split as in the graphic, Transdniestria could just latch on to Russia because it is directly adjacent. Everybody wins.
Maybe we can unload the American South on Putin while we're at it.
Correct, and Transnistria would also like to align with Moscow, but is politically stuck with Moldova.
