Why Moldovan Security Matters to the West
Manage episode 327425861 series 3315241
Last week, explosions were reported in Transnistria, raising concerns for Moldovan and Black Sea security.
Giselle, Dalibor, and Iulia discuss Moldova and its geo-strategic role in Eastern Europe. Iulia gives a brief history of Moldova and its ties since the Soviet Union, in order to help us understand why Putin might want to invade. Our hosts dive into an assessment of what will happen if there is an invasion, if the US can and would help, and what it means that Moldova isn't a part of NATO.
