Should NATO be folded in favor of a European Union unified command?

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

What about transnistria? They have already installed their own little dictatorship because that's the way they like it. They have already started a civil war with their former government of Moldova, to which they still belong nominally and they have already 1500 russian soldiers on their territory who apparently stopped the civil war with their presence. Should NATO go in and return Transnistria home to Moldova and why has Russia not annexed it yet? It has been closer to annexation than Crimea for over a decade now and yet it has not happened yet. Neither did I hear about any outrage, although I may have been to young before being outraged about it became too boring for our press.
I have honestly no idea what to think about it.

An excellent question - and a worrying one given that Transnistria is part of Moldova - which is to East Germany what Romania is to West Germany. Which is to say, Stalin forcibly separated them prior to WWII - leading directly to the Fascist dictatorship in Romania. The political class in both Romania and Moldova aspire to re-unification, and indeed the flag of Moldova is the Romanian tri-colour with the Moldavian crest added.

The people in both countries are somewhat more wary, but Romania is issuing passports to Moldovians and both sides recognise that, culturally and ethnically Moldovians and Romanians are fundamentally the same.

Now - most of Moldova's industrial base is apparently in Transnistria, and about 40% of the population are Moldovan, 60% Russia. Romania wants all of Moldova and is pushing hard for EU and NATO integration to try and ease re-unification. Just to make the situation stickier, Romania is in NATO and has a mutual defence pact with Moldova, meaning that should Russia attack Romanian forces INSIDE Romania it will trigger WWIII.

Oh - and Putin is considering their application to join Russia, now.
