True, but still outdated as fuck

Said trolley bus infrastructure was absolutely outdated, work on it to bring it up to modern standards would have had prohibitive costs

(Yes, we can argue that the BRT might be more expensive that said trolley bus network reconstruction)

I understand your train of thought, I'm *far* from being a BRT fan. *But* I can quite assure you noone will miss that building. It was quite unremarkable

Moldova makes historic purchase of gas in reverse flow via Trans-Balkan pipeline

Do you have a problem opening the links I'm posting or...? Yes, via this route Moldova and Transnistria. Yes, via this route Ukraine is skipped. Yes, this route is feasible. Yes, this route depends on Russia/Gazprom *wanting* to do it. Except they don't

Moldova makes historic purchase of gas in reverse flow via Trans-Balkan pipeline

Once again: the pipeline works in reverse. It can be Russia -> Ukraine -> Moldova/Transnistria OR Turkey -> Bulgaria -> Romania -> Moldova/Transnistria

Dude, it's literally in the link I posted below

Google is free.
Library got plenty of books.
And still yall dumb.
That’s crazy.

See? This is possible, it was tested on December 31st 2024, it works

No, it does not have to go through Ukraine, that's what I'm trying to explain to you

Except that is. Russia can send the gas through the TurkStream pipeline (in the middle of the Black Sea, away from Ukraine) and then up the Eastern Balkans (Bulgaria, Romania and then Moldova) through the TransBalkan pipeline (which can work in reverse since 2019)

Not to defend him but Russia can deliver gas to Transnistria without going through Ukraine. *if it want to*

Moldova ready to pump gas to Russian-backed separatists amid humanitarian crisis Any deal must not become a back door for Russian influence, says Moldovan official.

An energy crisis that has left hundreds of thousands of people without heating and hot water in the breakaway region of Transnistria could soon end, officials in neighboring Moldova said today.

Force won't be needed and it would probably be counterproductive

The conversation in Brussels went pretty quickly from "will Trump defend Europe?" to "will Trump invade Europe?"
