I was going to drop the same comment! At first I thought Bill was referring to the 1500 тАЬRussianтАЭ soldiers in Trans-Dniester, but then it was clear his geography was off. Still, there was an interesting story last week about the Russians using the Moldovan port on the Danube to smuggle in operatives and money - so even if they donтАЩt share a border, the Russian malign reach is long.
Hey Bill, sorry to nitpick but Moldova does not share a border with Russia. It's sandwiched between Ukraine and Romania.
