Russia is ready to annex Moldova, NATO commander claims

NATO's most senior commander Philip Breedlove said that Russia has amassed a large force on the eastern border of Ukraine -- and could be targeting the pro-Russia Trans-Dniester region in Moldova.

OMG the Russians are coming! Can Vladimir Putin be stopped?

From Guardian:

Nato's most senior military commander said on Sunday that Russia had amassed a large military force on Ukraine's eastern border, and warned that Moldova's separatist Trans-Dniester region could be the Kremlin's next target.

General Philip Breedlove, Nato's supreme allied commander, described the Russian force that began exercises 10 days ago as very, very sizeable and very, very ready.

"There is absolutely sufficient force postured on the eastern border of Ukraine to run to Trans-Dniester if the decision was made to do that. That is very worrisome," Breedlove said.
