Will Putin Do It Again?

Will he launch more drones on Ukraine?

Will he try another massive military push in Ukraine?

Good questions but for this post they are moot….it seems some analyst thinks Putin will make a move on Moldova and soon.

A US intelligence expert believes the nation will be making ‘another offensive military campaign’, as it was suggested another post-soviet State would be attacked: Moldova, on the border of Ukraine.

The small country has been subject to severe pressure from Russia in the past and has a large Russian-speaking population.

Ivana Stradner, who studies Russia’s security strategies and military doctrines, explains in The Telegraph that its media spreads ‘outlandish claims’ that Moldova is laced with Western intelligence services. Adding to reasons why the nation may target the Eastern European spot, the media also claims ‘MI6 is taking control of the Moldovan elections’.

Plus, Moscow has even made claims that intelligence in Moldova has been working with Ukraine to ‘sabotage Russia’.

So, these claims would suggest Moldova is being used as a weapon against Russia by the West. Therefore, it could lead to it falling into the same situation as Ukraine.

US intelligence expert Rebekah Koffler also explained the idea Russia may launch another attack in the coming years.

“As a military intelligence analyst specialising in Putin’s thinking and Russian military strategy, I agree with Rutte’s assessment about Russia’s readiness for another offensive military campaign in just a few years,” she wrote for The Telegraph.

“I’m less convinced that a NATO country is likely to be the Kremlin’s next target, unless the alliance directly intervenes in Ukraine by deploying troops onto the battlefield.

“Nevertheless, what NATO does or doesn’t do in the next few years could be highly significant in determining whether Putin decides to attack another post-Soviet state, such as Moldova.”

My thoughts are…..first does he have the assets to start another conflict?  I mean he cannot close his adventure into Ukraine so does that bode well for another conflict?

Granted I do not have access to classified info but by the accounts that are in the public domain I do not see another adventure in the best interests of Putin.

Moldova might be an easy target for him but will it really help the situation in the region?

Donny has given Putin 10 or 12 days to bring the Ukraine adventure to a close….but will that just be another yo-yo policy from the administration?

  1. these assessments seem spot on. Whatever Vladimir does, Donny will forgive him and find excuses for him as he cannot aply enough pressure to stop Putin’s advance and all his promises come to nought. If Putin is to be stopped it must be by the EU block with full determination and total co-operation.

  2. Huge drone atack on Kiev last night, people killed and injured.
    Moldova is a long way west of the border between Ukraine and Russia, but he could invade from The Crimea of course. It’s also a ‘soft target, as it is not in NATO, or the EU. It also has a relatively small military of less than 7,000 and relies on conscripts to boost those numbers. Worth noting than in April 2025, the EU gave Moldova 20 million Euros worth of weapons, to replace worn out soviet era equipment. That suggests the invasion rumours may have some foundation.
    Best wishes, Pete.

  3. Puitin seems immune to sanctions as non state companies(alleged) can still do business. He seems not the least bit intimidated by NATO military build-up. Trump plan to sanction countries that buy Russian oil may be some deterrent but seems Putin determined and disregards obstacles.

  4. Since nobody seems to be worried about Russia invading Ukraine anymore, you can damned well bet your ass that sooner or later, He is going to invade a NATO country and the rest of those holdouts that were once part of the Russian Federation….and nobody will do a damned thing to stop him.
