Moldova. Is the revolution cancelled?

When a tent camp went up on the main square of Chisinau last month, many decided that before our eyes another country was committing collective suicide. However, as we know, revolution cannot happen in just one country. IN THE USA. Because there is no American embassy there. And in every country where there is such an embassy, ​​it is from there that we should expect an answer to the question of what we are facing - paid actions of extremists and provocateurs against a democratic government or a peaceful protest of caring activists against a corrupt regime that has lost its legitimacy. If concerned activists win, it is the US Embassy that is not only the source of power, but also the bearer of legislative initiative, as can be seen, for example, in Ukraine.

So, it seems that with the onset of cold weather, the time has come for the tent camp of Moldovan anti-corruption fighters from the Socialist Party and the mayor of Balti, Renato Usatii, to disperse. The signal from the embassy sounded. Speaking on Tuesday, October 12, with an open lecture at the International Independent University of Moldova, US Ambassador to Moldova James Pettit, although throwing lightning at the native government, nevertheless spoke out against its removal.

Having paid tribute to the phenomenal ability of Moldovan corrupt officials to completely dissolve a billion dollars in their tiny banking system, and calling the “Banking scandal” “just one example of corruption,” the diplomat changed his anger to mercy.

“The question is what to do. - stated Mr. Pettit - Some say: this government has failed, it must go, and we must start again. But you have to be careful when you make such proposals, because you don't know what will come next."

Incredible! Before changing a corrupt government, you need to think about what might replace it. Tell me, why does this man vegetate in Chisinau? After all, his place is where the destinies of the Middle East are decided. If the State Department appreciated the diplomatic gift of its employee, then look, we would not have heard anything about the Islamic State or the refugee crisis now.

But let us return to the performance of this unrecognized Talleyrand. Mr. Pettit, before Chisinau, had experience working in embassies in Moscow and Kyiv, and therefore knows well all the tricks of post-Soviet democrats who live with the theft of Western loans issued in exchange for good wishes in the form of legislative acts adopted by local parliaments.

“Personally, I prefer that the current government be under strong pressure from both inside and outside - speaking from outside, I mean us and other international development partners - (to) take action to correct all the mistakes that have been made, and to do it quickly . We need deadlines. Promises are not enough. Even passing laws is not enough. The adoption of laws does not mean their implementation"

And again sedition! It turns out that the adoption of good laws, even with a call from the embassy, ​​is not all. Do the neighbors in Kyiv know about this?

However, not only the thieving government, but also ordinary Moldovans got it from the ambassador. Mr. Ambassador doesn't like the fact that one of the poorest countries in Europe has given over a million migrants in recent years alone. James Pettit would like them to experience all the pleasures from the introduction of all sorts of reforms by the Moldovan government.
