US says intelligence shows Russia stirring unrest in Moldova
The Associated Press ^ | March 10, 2023 | AAMER MADHANI and STEPHEN McGRATH

U.S. intelligence officials have determined that people with ties to Russian intelligence are planning to stage protests in hopes of toppling the Moldovan government, according to the White House.

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the intelligence shows that actors, some connected with Russian intelligence, are seeking to stage and use protests in Moldova as a basis to foment an insurrection against Moldova’s new pro-Western government.

Kirby said the intelligence shows that another set of Russian actors would provide training and help manufacture demonstrations in Moldova, which was granted European Union candidate status in June, on the same day as Ukraine, its war-torn neighbor.

The publicizing of the alleged malign operation by Moscow in Moldova is just the latest example of the Biden administration loosening restrictions on and making public intelligence findings over the course of the grinding war in Ukraine. The administration has said it wants to highlight plans for Russian misinformation and other activity so allies remain clear-eyed about Moscow’s intent and Russia thinks twice before carrying out an operation.

“As Moldova continues to integrate with Europe, we believe Russia is pursuing options to weaken the Moldovan government probably with the eventual goal of seeing a more Russian- friendly administration in the capital,” Kirby said.

Nobody's buying the Russians' stupid claim that Ukrainian "terrorists" tried to attack Transnistria this past week.

False flag all the way, as predicted!

From past history, I have to assume anything the White Hut tells us is false.

Ah, so she single-handedly drove Yanukovych from office with cookies, eh?

Well that was pretty easy then...sounds like he was a real push over, considering how he fled to Russia in the middle of the night.

Putin: Russia helped Yanukovych to flee Ukraine

Oh boy, another war! Wrench in your pocket or just dreaming of the additional carnage? Will this one be a sideshow like Cambodia or Afghanistan? You do know how advanced those Ukrainian terrorists are. Just check with your media handlers, they’ll explain how Ukrainian terrorists blew up Nordstream. Do you have a leash or has the Biden administration placed a ring in your nose for easier manipulation?

Is this the same intelligence that told us the Hunter laptop was Russian disinformation?

An insurrection they say? And all 17 attributes agree again?

And we are shocked and horrified that they are trying to overthrow a government over there? Hey! That’s OUR gig! They need to stop horning in on our business! Lol

I'm pretty used to Freepers being ahead of the curve as it seems no one here is buying Biden Bullshit anymore.

Hope most Americans are seeing through malevolent messaging.

We survived the Covid chemo, hope we aren't subjected to Russian radiation next.

No, it's the same U.S. intelligence that predicted the Russian invasion in 2022 weeks ahead of the event and gave Ukraine time to prepare to meet it.

Like Biden and his allied NGOs are stirring unrest in Isreal to get rid of Bibi?

Nuland’s bunch is also trying to get a war started in Georgia, so coupled with Moldova, it seems the goal is just what Russia feared, being attacked on multiple fronts by the Western Operatives.

As it is Russia has responded well, with their side of the conflict (China) now pulling-in Saudi Arabia on their side. No big deal as Saudi Arabia is the BIGGEST OIL EXPORTER IN THE WORLD. I know, details, details.

The same scumbag U.S. “intelligence” that claims parents attending school board meetings are terrorist.

The only ex-soviet Republics that should be allowed to join NATO are the Baltic states. The other countries are fair game for Russia to insist being part of their orbit.

The same way that the USA insist Canada and Mexico be part of the North American Union or NAFTA.

The Biden-EU axis is the real threat to America, spreading LGBT, socialism, and green economic devastation throught the planet. Moldavia and Russia needs to stay out of that orbit.

A call for the retaking of their Communist empire, I didn’t expect to see that at the old Free Republic.
