Have you ever heard of Transnistria? If you haven’t, you’ve got lots of company. You see, Transnistria is a tiny country between Moldavia and Ukraine. Known as a “breakaway” state, it is a strip of land still claimed by Moldavia and its citizens would like to be annexed by Russia.
Today, April 26, 2022, I heard it mentioned for the first time on the FOX News network. Commentators on FOX, walking in lockstep with MSNBC, CBS, CNN, PBS, ABC, and (of course) NPR all want the war between Russia and Ukraine to go on until the end of time. Like the corporate executives in the 1976 movie NETWORK, our vulture-like media needs ratings and war is a great way to get them. Also, like the Big Guy’s administration, they are not comfortable with the concept of a Baltic nation wanting to be a part of Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
That’s why it has been completely ignored by all the media until today. Now, there is concern that the Russian (and their Ukrainian allies) plan to connect Mariupol with Transnistria via Odessa. All of a sudden, Americans are allowed to know that Transnistria exists.
I first learned of it in a Substack.com article in Julie Douglas’ blog WISH I WERE HERE. Julie, until recently was an American expat who documented her adventures traveling the world on WordPress.com. In an essay entitled NOWHERE IN BETWEEN, she wrote about Transnistria on June 14, 2014. Isn’t it peculiar that no one in the American media seems to have been aware of the existence of this small, but not insignificant piece of geography until it became a pivotal piece in the downfall of Obama’s 2014 coup that replaced a democratically elected government with a corrupt fascist one?
It makes me wonder whether Putin’s invasion was to prevent the success of Klaus Schwab’s New World Order, whether it was to end the fighting that’s been going on in eastern Ukraine since the CIA-instigated insurrection, whether it was to expose the corruption of the Biden Crime Family, or whether it is simply the expression of a trapped rat, surrounded by vicious, aggressive, warlike enemies who, through manipulation of a compliant media, have once again convinced Americans that Russia is actually the USSR.
Thought I understood enough about geography!? Transnistria? Had no idea.Excellent write up! Your conclusions in the last paragraph sum up what I've suspected from the outset. Most likely involves the simplest of explanations. Considering we have Biden & Co.outlining these events well before 2000 in a public speech, plus abundant proof of the US being involved in the overthrow of governments favoring totalitarian rulers, plus the fact the public is waking up to the massive human rights abuses of more recent times? Seems many a good reason to suspect the American government is involved in the Ukraine to cover up a multitude of sins.
I was aware of Transnistria, but I read a lot of esoteric stuff. The problem with the Balkans is that they have been sliced up in many ways many times. That has resulted in microscopic bits and pieces ethnically, religiously and linguistically jumbled. That is why Croatia fought alongside Germany in WW2. Serbia had enslaved them.
