The Western media has completely blacked out these mass protests in Moldova. They are peddling the CIA nonsense instead blaming Russia for this. pic.twitter.com/kpvPQEk0aZ
WNU Editor: Inflation that is over 30% and climbing. Interest rates at 21% and climbing. A economy that has imploded, coupled with the country now facing its worse energy crisis in its history .... sighhhh .... this is what is fueling these protests .... President says Moldova facing worst energy crisis in its history (BNE Intelligence).
Kudos to Reuters for following these protests closely and reporting on why they are happening, and how large they are .... Thousands in new Moldova anti-government protest (Reuters).
The Washington Post has a different analysis. Quoting Ukrainian intelligence sources they are labeling these protests as a Russian destabilization operation (see below):
