<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1030000, member: 26302&quot;]Not to get into politics, but the two &quot;countries&quot; who recognize Transdnistria are themselves not recognized, both fo them as well being breakawy regions with their only support from Russia. Moldovan troops didn&#039;t try to &quot;occupy&quot; the area, since legally it is still part of Moldova and the troops had every right to be there. Abkhazia only &quot;broke away&quot; from Georgia BECAUSE they had a promise from Russia for her to send in thousands of troops into land that legally for hundreds of years has been part of Georgia, but the Russians wanted the land instead.</p><p><br /></p><p>For US readers, this would be as if a chunk of southern Texas declared freedom, the US tried to send our troops back to a base in San Antonio, and the Mexican government &quot;secured the peace&quot; by stationing thousands of troops in southern Texas. Of course the people in southern Texas only declared &quot;independence&quot; BECAUSE they had a promise from the Mexican government to immediately send in thousands of troops, because Mexico wished to annex this area. Exact same scenario except Mexico&#039;s army is not 1,000 times the size of the US army.</p><p><br /></p><p>Admins, please delete this post if you feel it is too political, I just wanted to add more history of this &quot;country&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
