  1. Great to see a country publicly calling out corruption within its own borders. Well done Moldova

  2. That’s some commitment, do the citizens just joke about it or are they all keeping it a secret between each other?

  3. Putin is the most destructive force in the world right now. That POS needs to go..

    You can take the bribe of the agressive autocrat and still vote for democracy and freedom instead.

  5. “Moldova’s General Inspectorate of Police, stated that in September alone, $15 million was transferred from Russia to the accounts of Moldovan citizens.”

    Works out to an average of $115.38 per person.

  6. Moldova in the EU? I don’t think even EU countries would want that. But if the question is “would you help build up the Moldovan economy, or take in a number of immigrants equal to the Moldovan population”, I think the former would be preferred. But that dilemma does not exist as the inauguration of Moldova into EU doesn’t prevent the horde of illegal immigration from coming in still.

  7. This is wild.

    Using known department of Defense bank accounts for it too? Thats so obvious and lazy. Even by Russian standards.

    “What do you mean they voted to join? We paid them!” “Comrade, they uh…can just take the money and then vote however they want.”

    Can’t wait til Putin is no longer in power. Let’s hope he isn’t replaced by some other jerk.

  10. Moldova should be the most pro-Ukranian country on Earth. Ukraine is the ONLY reason they still exist, if Ukraine falls, Moldova would be next and they wouldn’t last a week with their pretty much nonexistent army. Calling them traitors is not enough to describe pro-Russian Moldovans.

  11. what’s to stop them taking the money and either not voting or voting for someone else?
