US troops in Moldova in emerging Plan B for Ukraine
Asia Times ^ | 4/5/24 | Stephen Bryen

Posted on 04/06/2024 8:35:19 PM PDT by hardspunned

Big trouble may be brewing in little Moldova, which is starting to look like a staging area for the European Union to offset an emerging Russian victory in Ukraine. Whether such a plan, if attempted, would succeed is not clear. But Moldova is not the most stable country in the world with the nation split between pro-EU and pro-Russian elements.

US troops are now in Moldova with Romanians, ostensibly for a military exercise called JCET 2024 (Joint Command Exchange Training). The exercise started on April 1 and will continue until April 19.

Where have we seen a sideshow like this before? Cambodia, all over again.

Just a little bit closer to acknowledging that this is going to turn into a world war.

Now the West is enslaving Moldovans to die.

Did anyone read the article the first time it was posted? Probably not.

A regular joint exercise that has happened for the last several years is a normal event, not a sign of things to come. He admits the exercise has gone on for years:

"These exercises are not new but they taken on new urgency now because of the developing situation in neighboring Ukraine."

This can be said of every US and NATO military exercise since Russia's invasion. Bryen offers nothing to back up his claims such plans exist. Then he goes on speculating about all the events surrounding the plan he can't show exists outside of his imagination.

He's pontificating on what he does not know from a position of authority he doesn't have.

Thank you. Saved me the trouble of fisking this APBS myself. The ultracrepidarans are already jumping in. GRU influencers expected shortly.

Not one American should be over there getting killed or being lined up to get killed.

And yes, back to 2014, we shouldn’t have done the “regime change” to replace Ukraine’s democratically elected president with the first of our two puppets there.

Oh no, nothing to be concerned about this year. We’re standing on the precipice of nuclear war, the ethnic Russians in Transnistria have already called for Russian intervention (Putin is more than willing), major troop movements by everyone concerned, the CIA, through its Uke proxy, just butchered three Russians in a brutal terrorist attack. No, nothing to see here, move along. Get your head out of the sand.

Because unless the world surrenders to Ruzzia they’ll come at us with their obsolete Soviet era military? What a pathetic and impotent joke!

Don’t trust the media in what Putin is doing. He used the older equipment to buy time as his factories were ramped up to produce the latest technology that the Russians know how to produce.

He used his old equipment, because they were write-offs anyway. So, why not use them and destroy Ukrainian war machines in the process?

You’re saying Putin KNEW that this war would end up a quagmire? And he started it anyway? I’m sure lots of the families of dead Russian men will find comfort in knowing their dead went to some grandiose plan of the Little Napoleon!

The war is not a quagmire.

The active battlefield is now Russian oil refineries, the depleted Black Sea Fleet, the whole Russian economy
