My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Moldavia is for Romania what Kosovo is for Serbia. An example how immigrations by an Empire effectively change the ethnical and culture background of a territory. Albanians moved over to Kosovo during the Ottoman Empire, while immigration of Russian, Ukrainian and Cossacks was heavily supported by the Soviet Union after it annexed Bessarabia prior to WW2 as a means to counter the nationalistic Romanian pressure in the territory. Its Stalin policy at it's best. Pitting ethnicities one against the others. So much that while Moldavia was under Romanian control from 1917-1939, the vast majority of its population were ethnical Romanians, nowadays thanks to the immigration encouraged by Stalin one third of its population is Russian-based. My opinion is that Moldavia should belong to Romania, as much as Kosovo should remain with Serbia, and as Palestine should be granted sole sovereignty over the Israeli and Palestinian territories as there is an historical right of the countries over those regions which has been altered by imposition of foreign powers.
