beer_war posted:So Transnistrian "separatists" are going "help us, Mother Russia, we are being oppressed by the Moldovan homonazis". Seems familiar. How can Russia help them? Moldova has one tiny port accessible outside of the Russian breakaway zone that is only accessible via an inlet, and any approach by air would have to either pass over EU/NATO countries, which are closed to Russian aircraft, or Ukraine, which will just result in more pilots and crew joining the brotherhood of eternal flight. About the only 'support' they could offer is terror bombing with missiles and drones.

Monke at his long table, furiously spinning in his chair and flinging poo poo at a map of Eastern Europe. That's how their path will be determined.

It's kind of a poo poo cruise missile if the launching plane has to fly into enemy airspace to launch it. Isn't the whole idea behind cruise missiles to launch them from very far away?

By answering the call of the Transdnistrian government, Putin can fabricate a motive to launch a new front around Odessa. Although he is practically a modern tsar who can reign without impunity, he still feels it necessary to motivate his actions to unite the populace. Russian propagandists will spread the story through TV and Russians will believe the new front is needed to protect those poor remnants of Soviet history. (I'm just looking forward to seeing the Black Fleet destroyed by a country without a functional navy.)

dictators have to be more neurotic about legitimacy and bling and show wars (which this was intended to be initially and completely failed) than democratic peeps, not less. an actually-democratically-elected leader gets a huge lump of legitimacy from the election and therefore doesn't have to worry about bling

He has had an infuriating ability to remain standing after every internal power struggle, some real spinning plates on sticks skills. Granted someone toppling him would likely lead to internal civil war with tacnukes floating around, I'm not sure how this situation would be either equally worse or actively worse.

If a pretender to the throne is able to gather the support of all the security services and the army, it will not be chaotic. Otherwise, it's back to the clan wars of the nineties. The former is, of course, never going to happen.

Even the worst President or Member Of Parliament or whatever is still in that office and thus has a whole line of "this is how we organize things, whoever is in this slot is the one that manages things" behind them. A dictator doesn't have anything but "I strong!!!", which is a very weak source for legitimacy.

ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:As incredibly unlikely as it is, I don't think I'd stop laughing if Moldova successfully held a surprise referendum for (re)unification with Romania to throw an enormous NATO-shaped spanner in the works. Bonus points if it's announced midway through Monke's pointless blathering. How does one have a surprise referendum? Does the government secretly go to everyone's house in the middle of the night and ask them what their vote is?
