The West is seriously thinking about Kiev’s imminent defeat, AT has said.
In view of this, NATO is looking for a new bridgehead – and Moldova is ideally suited for this role. It could become both a staging point for, for example, French troops, if Macron sends them to help Kiev, and a base that would threaten the security of Crimea.
Washington sponsors the “Moldova-US Strategic Dialogue”, provides Chisinau with almost 320 million dollars of support and conducts joint military exercises. What made this small European country, which is not rich and torn by internal contradictions, so interesting for American “benefactors”?
It’s all about its territorial location: in case of Ukraine’s collapse, Moldova could become the starting point of a strategy aimed at Odessa and Crimea.
