Although it is dismissed as just the poorest & least visited country in Europe, it is actually one of the most important geopolitical points that could see a direct conflict between the EU & Russia. In this video we go over the short history of Moldova and the tug of war between the EU & Russia who have been fighting to bring the country under their influence. We go over some of Russia's propaganda and foreign influence tactics as well as their effect & potential outcome. ?Follow my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingironicallyineurope/ ?Join the Ironic Discord: https://discord.gg/gHhTSRUXxy ?Outro Song?: https://youtu.be/VDDX2m_vd-g ?Explained Intro Song?: https://youtu.be/vafpeSvU0DA Sources: https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/odr/ukraine-war-moldova-transnistria-peace-plan/ https://www.rferl.org/a/moldova-france-defense-deal-intelligence-russia-meddling/32849952.html https://foreignpolicy.com/2024/03/21/moldova-transnistria-ukraine-russia-war-odesa/ https://moldova.europalibera.org/a/von-der-leyen-despre-aderarea-r-moldova-la-ue-in-2030-cei-care-muncesc-din-greu-pot-sa-adere-mai-devreme-/32634789.html https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/16/europe/russia-moldova-secret-document-intl-cmd/index.html https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/warning-transnistria-may-organize-referendum-annexation-russia-support-russian-hybrid https://www.nomos-elibrary.de/10.5771/1435-2869-2007-4-51/transnistria-a-paradise-for-vested-interests-volume-10-2007-issue-4?page=1 https://www.marshallcenter.org/en/publications/occasional-papers/transnistria-prospects-solution https://www.researchgate.net/publication/371768864_West_or_East_Geopolitical_Challenges_to_Moldova's_Borders https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/16/europe/russia-moldova-secret-document-intl-cmd/index.html https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Transnistria-population-structure-5-Source-Census-of-Population-2004-Transnistria_fig2_260019316 https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/moldova-next-target-belarus-presidents-battle-map-pic-raises-questions-2798840 https://tradingeconomics.com/moldova/military-expenditure https://www.managingmadrid.com/2024/2/7/24063616/inside-real-madrids-2023-24-budget https://carnegieendowment.org/research/2017/09/moldova-between-russia-and-the-west-a-delicate-balance?lang=en https://www.csis.org/analysis/moldovas-sisyphean-security-struggle https://www.chathamhouse.org/2024/03/moldova-new-battleground-russias-war https://www.usip.org/publications/2024/05/russias-hybrid-war-europe-moldovas-critical-next-15-months https://www.usip.org/publications/2024/05/russias-hybrid-war-europe-moldovas-critical-next-15-months SoundDrive: / @sounddrive7757 Music: MÚSICA RUSA SIN COPYRIGHT [TMSC] ●Music channel: http://goo.gl/UAgnsQ ●Google+: https://goo.gl/sgPZmg ●Twitter: / tumusicasincopy ●Facebook: https://goo.gl/1vWols ●Music video: • MÚSICA RUSA | Música de RUSIA SIN COP... ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcaG5Hr7sLE
