Slightly OT but am I mistaken or has the British Bloviator Corp. wilfully twisted Putin’s/Russia’s statements on Syria?
My understanding is that Russia will stay in Syria for as long as needed (by the legitimate Syrian government) and the statement that it would be ‘limited’ was not in time but in military resources, as in no significant boots on the ground or ‘troop invasion’ as the BBC would call it.
Syria conflict: Russia’s build-up looks long-term
By Steve Rosenberg BBC News, Syria
“My overwhelming impression from these last four days is that Russia’s military operation in Syria and its military presence are looking increasingly long-term.
President Vladimir Putin promised the Russian operation in Syria would be ‘limited in time’.”

Same old sad story. Small oligarchs rob people. People threaten. Big oligarchs offer sweet deal. Deal sours. People threaten. Oligarchs beat them down, install their fancy-suit thugs and plunder everything valuable that remains.
People are shocked into submission. Some wonder how they can become oligarchs themselves. Others redouble their prayers.
Few dare question the pyramid scheme itself lest they slide further down. A few others hope for a more benign multi-polar pyramid. Others resign themselves to the world is a joke or a hoax box.
There is a way out but it’s highly personal like salvation and death. Safety is sought in bigger pyramids, visible and invisible. The masters of the west have the pyramid game game down to a system no one sees.
Not even Russia. The allurements of the west are too seductive. Unless Russia has a Frodo hidden away somewhere in a vineyard we’re stuck with Mordor forever. A uni-polar or multi-polar banking system; what’s the difference? As a commenter here with a feminine name remarked: even if the major banks are nationalized and the same people are running the show, what’s the diff?
Throwing the ring into the fire is a personal thing. Societies won’t do it because even three can form a pyramid. Unless we’re talking about an inverted pyramid, the original womam’s sign of love.
How true: see yourself the CEO of the russian Sberbank Herman Gref

Good catch! Herman Gref tries to explain – of all things – Buddhism and gets it all wrong. Another oligarch with the intelligence of a mosquito.
What you are talking about in your comments has nothing to do with Moldova.I think you have no idea what who are the Moldavians or Moldovans,what connections they have with Romania and with Russia (and more or less with Ukraine)in cultural,historical sense.
Moldavia, Monrovia, Moldova, Moravia -it’s all quite confusing isn’t it?
Although some of us might not know the nuances of life in Moldova -those I have met from there are extremely reluctant to talk about the place- yes, we know where Moldova is.
The reason we are commenting about Russia and Syria is because this is a blog where comments have to be attached to an article and the last relevant article was several articles down the chain and not getting much attention.
This here was the latest article at one point and we are something of a family here and tolerant of OT (off-topic) comments that are within and relevant to the larger geopolitical picture.
If you have knowledge please share it -I’d be interested and I am sure others too.
Moldavia is a historical region that is now part Romania, part Moldova is it not?
Biological warfare in Donbas?

The protests in Moldova are led by two opposite sectors, but both opposed to Plahotniuc and his liberal-oligarchic clique: one are the “pro-Russians” more tending to the Left and spouse a “distict Moldavian identity” (Socialist Party and “Our Party” which was barred to take part in 2014 election), and the other is radical liberal “Dignity Platform” which wants to unify Moldova to Romania.
Both are oposed to the PLD-PL-PDM coalition, three liberal parties (the first to pan-Romanian, while the third is “moderate moldovenist”) which are managed by Plahotniuc clique: one sector because see them as undemocratic, folowing the Ghimpu-Filat government economic and politic disaster (later I will return to this), and other, the radical rightists see on Plahotniuc a “non-fully commited man” to European and pan-Romanian integration (Plahotniuc comes from de PDM Moldovan Democratic Party, which is nominally “center-left” and moldovenist, and is formed by many excommunist cadres which broke from PCRM in 2020, like Marian Lupu).
Moldova is in a economic brink, after they agreed to some WB and IMF loans on 201. This has worsened a lot the situation. For another point of view, in Moldova, to be elected president usually was not enough to have a simple majority, but to have 61 MPs out of 101 was requested. This istuation has lead to parliamentary blockades and also to floor-crossing practices.
One of this blockades, in 2009, led to the “twitter Revolution”; a colour revolution against president Vladimir Voronin, which has only 60 MPs after 61, and eventual “acting rule” of liberal Mihai Ghimpu. This colour revolution came with the resignment of Voronin, new election and the continuation of the blockade, but election of MIhai Ghimpu as “acting president” (because was parliamentary president).
This rule, was “Outdated” by the Moldovan Constitucional Court in 2011, when liberal Mihai Ghimpu was the interim president, Court decission stated that “Government can function without electing a permanent president”, a move that the then opposition Communist Party said it was a “judicial State coup”. This “acting Government”; liberal by ideology is the responsible f the crackdown of Moldovan economy, and also authoritarian practices, for example thee trial to ban Commnist Party and its symbols in Moldova.
So this situation is a sequel of the blockade position in Moldova (liberal coalition has not 61 MPs out of 101, but they rule thanks to a “articualr interpretation of law”), bad economic management, and political represion (against Petrenko, of “red Block party”).
Cheers!
