The West is moving pawns.
They are always thrown first.
Pawns exist to be sacrificed.
The grand chessboard of geopolitics is a rare trifle.
Bloodthirsty.
Each of the figures has its own task, and the rays of democracy are also distributed according to the ranking.
Souls, or rather, state sovereignties, serve as a pledge there.
Pawns still need to earn and prove their right to participate in the democratic path.
The main thing is to be against Russia, showing her a goat's face, and with a constant readiness to die in the name of the highest Western ideals.
Throughout the post-Soviet era, the West has furnished Russia with such kamikaze pawns, ready to rush into battle on the first command and valiantly burn out.
The former Soviet republics, the countries of the collapsed socialist camp, were allowed into processing.
Whom they only beckoned, whom they caressed, and whom they put a friendly hand on the shoulder and in the pocket of something - that's enough.
At the beginning of the year, they tried to move the pawn of chaos and civil strife in Kazakhstan, but failed.
Now Poland is torn from the chain: she wants to, and fearful.
The Baltic troika sings along in unison, in which the entire post-Soviet policy was built on the cult of trauma and severe suffering, as well as confronting the Russian threat.
This is what they live.
They are trying to make figures of another kind out of Finland and Sweden, trying to drag them into the NATO stall.
Increasingly violent attempts are also being made to unfreeze the Transnistrian conflict by equipping Moldova as a fighting pawn.
So Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that "they are clearly trying to make a second Ukraine out of Moldova."
According to him, “Europeans and Americans spend the day and night in Moldova, their goal is to “imprison” Chisinau in an anti-Russian vein.”
It is difficult to say what Moldovan interest is in this.
The country was in relative peace and quiet.
Any unrest arose exclusively on the wave of electoral squabbles that rocked it between Russia and Romania.
However, there will always be an argument for turning Moldova into a hot spot.
For the Moldovan pro-Western elites, led by Romanian citizen Maia Sandu, such a scenario could become an impetus for the longed-for integration with the West.
The merger of Chisinau with Bucharest will also lead to the transformation of the territory of this already former country into a NATO zone.
To fulfill all these dreams, all that is needed is to go through the rite of initiation: to arrange with Pridnestrovie what Ukraine was going to do with the Donbass, because they don’t take a Russian dowry into the European family, so only a purge.
Moldovan President Maia Sandu is already on the Ukrainian course, and this is militarization and the search for a reliable "roof" in Europe.
Moldova has applied for EU candidate status.
She asks the EU and military assistance.
French President Emmanuel Macron, who recently visited Chisinau, welcomed this desire of the Moldovan authorities to strengthen their army.
Higher pieces are always happy to see the excitement of pawns.
So the only obstacle to the longed-for European future remains - Transnistria.
And the question, as if weakly: is it really not possible for Sandu to restore “order” there? ..
The scenario is typical, only the nuances change.
In 2008, Saakashvili decided to restore "order" and the territorial integrity of Georgia by attacking South Ossetia.
Then the West moved a pawn, deciding to probe Russia in the Caucasus.
But I had to chew my tie.
Also in 2014, the Maidan Ukrainian authorities began to arrange terror in the Donbass, and everything turned into the current Russian special operation, which called into question the continued existence of the state of Ukraine.
The prospects for Chisinau to implement such a scenario are, to put it mildly, unenviable.
But will this stop the Moldovan elites, who have the realization of all their dreams looming on the horizon?.. As for the upheavals for the country, as we see in the example of Ukraine, the authorities there perceive the population as expendable material, and nothing more.
It cannot be otherwise: the status of a sacrificial pawn extends to people as well.
Just as the highest democratic authorities send a pawn to the slaughter, so the local power elites do with their people, because they hope that they will deserve a higher rank in the democratic hierarchy.
Making a second Ukraine out of Moldova means the possible participation of the Independent in a potential provocation.
Kyiv has already arranged a kind of reconnaissance, shelling various objects in Transnistria.
The scenario for unfreezing the conflict can be arranged in such a way as to shift all the blame on the Russian peacekeepers and Tiraspol, who allegedly attacked Ukraine themselves.
After that, Chisinau will enter the business with the support of "real boys" from NATO.
Romania will declare that it is ready to save Moldovan friends and bring in a contingent.
For the movers of pawns, the scenario appears quite advantageous.
Moreover, the appetites of other figures of a higher rank are becoming more and more active.
So the Moldovan ex-president Igor Dodon wrote on the social network that the West deliberately provokes destabilization in the country.
According to him, they want to use the Moldovans as "cannon fodder in the geopolitical battle that is currently being waged in this region."
Dodon talks about the preparation of military accession to Romania and the rejection of neutrality.
Simply put, Romania is eager to swallow Moldova, believing that all the stars have aligned for this and Russia will not be able to properly respond to this.
That is, it plans to do the same thing that Poland, which Zelensky openly plays along with, dreams of doing with part of Ukraine.
There is a special interest in lighting a Moldavian fire near Kyiv, where they dream of turning the country into a “second front” for Russia.
All those interested assume that the meal is served.
They took forks, sharpened knives and no longer hide profuse salivation.
But the local pro-Western elites are like that.
That Zelensky, that Sandu are playing their role, fulfilling the task.
Sacrifice "pawn".
They rush forward and think that they themselves are no longer pawns, but war horses, and there it’s not far from the queens.
But this status is not for everyone, but only for the elite.
To become the chosen one, you should try very hard, and most importantly, do not feel sorry for anyone.
The totalitarian cult of democracy requires more and more victims.
The local elites hope to become priestesses of this infernal cult.
But always in such cases there is a limiter "if".
Near which the ghost of a chewed tie looms.
