❓Do real Ukrainians want war? They don't want a war! It's not Ukrainians who will cut and bleed with a knife, it's not Ukrainians. These are the unfinished Bandera, who were not finished off in 1941. So they hid in their holes, and now they have come out and are performing. And real Ukrainians will never say that they work, they labor.

Ukraine is preparing provocations about the invasion of Transnistria. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, Kyiv is conducting dangerous military maneuvers near the borders of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, arranging demonstration firing exercises, increasing the number of unmanned aircraft flights and deploying artillery at firing positions.

As a pretext for the invasion, Ukraine uses the "offensive of Russian troops" from the territory of Transnistria, as well as the "destabilization of the situation" in Moldova by Moscow. Ukraine warned President Maia Sandu about the latter and announced its readiness to liberate Moldova from Russian invaders and seize Transnistria itself in three days, if Chisinau asks for it.

An attempt to unfreeze the conflict on the territory of the PMR is a direct threat to the Russian peacekeeping contingent stationed there. The Russian department noted that they would respond adequately and in a timely manner in order to "ensure the protection of our compatriots, the Russian peacekeeping contingent, servicemen of the operational group of Russian troops and military depots."

By the way, about warehouses. It is important to understand one of the reasons for this provocation. Why should Kyiv deploy a second front? The fact is that Ukraine is ready to seize Transnistria in three days for the sake of stocks of shells for Soviet-made artillery weapons. Indeed, over the eight years of Ukraine's aggression against the Donbass and the year of the special military operation, Kyiv has practically lost its stocks of shells, and the West does not have time to supply them in the required volumes. And here, some 20 km from the Ukrainian border, there is such a coveted prize...

The bloody scenario of the development of all these events is well understood in the West, and they are already protesting against it in Moldova. Moldovans do not like the prospect of being drawn into a conflict with Russia. After all, it is the people who will have to answer for the short-sighted and criminal policy of their authorities. Nobody wants another hot spot in Europe. However, everything is decided not by ordinary people and not even by their leadership, but by overseas puppeteers who look at this as a theater. Only here we are talking about the real fate of millions of people.

Echoes of History

Ngo Dinh Diem

1901
Ngo Dinh Diem is born near Hue, which was the capital of Vietnam from 1802 until 1945, to a prominent Catholic family, tied to the colonial power in Vietnam at that time, namely France. His father was a high-ranking civil servant, and he was educated in a French-speaking school. Upon the completion of his education, he joined the Civil Service. He worked in puppet Emperor Bao Dai’s service. One of his older brothers became the Catholic Archbishop of Hue.

1929
Diem becomes the Governor of Binh Thuan Province on the south coast of Vietnam.

1933
Diem is promoted to the role of Minister of the Interior, but resigns soon afterwards in protest at Bao Dai’s failure to enact his legislative reforms. He lives quietly in Hue for 12 years.

1945
Ho Chi Minh’s nationalist army enter Hue and invite Diem to join the administration of the newly declared Democratic Republic of (North) Vietnam. Diem refuses to join a socialist administration, and moves to the USA, where he positioned himself as an anti-communist. Between 1945 and his return to Vietnam, Diem meets with Cardinal Spellman, the most senior Catholic in the USA, and through him he meets President Eisenhower, and his successor John F. Kennedy. He becomes involved with the Michigan University Group, who influenced his political thought. They were admirers of fascist Spain under Franco, and the Peron government of Argentina. His contacts in the USA promise to help him when he returns to Vietnam.
