Russia has between 77,000 and 550,000 Moldovan diaspora.

According to these numbers, under 5,000 were able to vote.

Only two polling stations were opened in Russia.

40-50,000 Moldovans live in the US and Canada each putting a total estimate of 100,000 diaspora in North America.

Canada had 7 polling stations open.

The United States had 22 polling stations open.

๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ—ณโšก๏ธ 12k votes in Transnistria, the lowest amount in any Moldovan election, partially thanks to the very few polling booths opened.

Yet, almost a 1/3 of all votes from Transnistria were for PAS

This is in stark contrast to Gฤƒgฤƒuzia, where just 3% of the votes were for PAS.

Transnistria would be far easier to integrate back into Moldova than Gฤƒgฤƒuzia is and Gฤƒgฤƒuzia is not even separated or led by separatists.

P.S. Kudos to 605 Transnistrians and 628 Gagauzians who voted for unionist parties/candidates

๐Ÿ—’ I'm happy with the coverage we did today of Moldovan elections.

I think we told everything good and bad from both sides. There was a balanced reporting with no bias toward anyone.

I even conducted two important fact checkings on some of the massive amount of information circulating today, and let me tell you, I'm not FOX News; but I've paid a schizophrenic amount of attention to verifying every single fucking word of what I posted today.

Regarding the posting frequency, with more people in the channel that would have been possible. However, for now we are just The Bosnian Kingdom and I.

Funny thing is that we did not even talk in private today, but were perfectly synchronized when posting. As if each of us knew the time frame when the other would not be posting.

Thank you, TBK, for your really great help today and thank you, dear readers, for trusting Balkan Spectator on such an important day!

Unnamed diplomats told Politico that potential moves to deter Russia are "strewn with potential disasters," with some officials warning privately of a possible "Franz Ferdinand moment" - a sudden escalation that could drag the continent into conflict. The phrase refers to the 1914 assassination Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, which set off a rapid chain of alliances and ultimatums that triggered WWI.

Though often referred to as the "largest NATO base in Bulgaria" by Russian officials and some media, it is not the largest NATO base in Europe. That designation is widely applied to an expanding airbase in neighboring Romania.

Russia is planning to recruit another 135k for its armed forces this fall.

In the US, specifically the ANTIFA organization; is one manned by the liberal college arts degree holders. Individuals who have never lived in a communist state. Have had no experience in war & predominantly led by women / minorities with no clear goal except to sow chaos.

Serbia's history with fascism is one written in blood. The reality of Hitler's expansion of the third Reich unleashed propaganda to turn neighbors into foes.

Ultimately, it was Hitler's order that for every German killed in the occupied territories of the Kingdom of Yugoslavs - 100 civilians would be executed. This daily slaughter of people not only unified Tito's Yugoslavia but also carried real hatred for fascism for decades. Including Jasenovac.

Serbia's anti-fascist movement is rooted in real life events & consequences.

Unfortunately the US ANTIFA organization is beginning to spread its slogans along with political battles overseas which diminishes the actual view of the real victims of fascism and it's successor: Israel.
