Does Moldova control it actually or are they totally autonomous ?
de jure claim but de facto autonomy
it runs itself
>>67038211
WTF
In English?
>>67038273
de jure = in theory
de facto = in reality
what country is that
>>67038541
transnistria
it is like nistria but it cannot decide its gender
>>67038457
by law and by fact would be more accurate, fuck that illiterate scumbag too lazy too google
>>67037963
Non-maritime country cannot be independent. Russia pays off Moldova and doesnt recognize subj even as independent state for access to it.
>>67038552
oh okay, it was a funny joke anon thank you
>>67038643
you are welcome
>>67038591
dont you use de facto in your daily conversations?
>>67038966
every day equivalent is "basically means"
use any kind of latin apart of ad hoc and you sound pretentious.
>>67039059
lol "basically means" sounds so reatarded in my lang
>>67039244
Same :D
It isn't pretentious at all in French.
>>67037963
Aren't most of Moldavias powerplants located in there?
>>67037963
Yes theyre a totally autonomous country that just happens to have a store of 30 000 tons of Soviet munitions and a detachment of Russian army guarding it

Breddy audonomous, lad.
I went there a few years ago... I was disappointed that they're not actually gommies when the flag advertises that they're gommies. Admittedly the place has a very "papers, please" feel to it, so you get some of that vibe, but still.
>>67039358
All that in a tiny sliver of a country?
>>67039359
I always had the feeling it would some of the worst post-soviet shithole imaginable.
Does it seem like a decent place to live or are all the people depressed and miserable?
>>67037963
are they one of the last commie states alive?
>>67039494
Nah, the whole Soviet regalia thing seems to be more of a nostalgia thing for them than anything else... current ruling party are run of the mill fiscal-liberalism conservatives, I think.
>>67039463
Not anymore than any other slavic post-soviet state from what I could see. They have more stuff around from soviet times than I've seen in other places though, more hammers and sickles, more lenin statues, but otherwise Tiraspol was just like any other mid-sized town I saw in like Russia when I went there (but with better climate, but I've only been to like Murmansk and shit in Russia so I'm probably a bit biased on that)

In a single underground storage I understand. But wiki says it's about 20000 now

people say russians are homophobic but they support the words only trans country
>>67039890
Are they actually removing it, or they just lying?
>>67040170
... you have to ask?
>>67040170
I will tell you nothing, NSA
But seriously with all that shit in Ukraine and esp Syria i'd guess they have ample opportunity to "remove" the expiring stockpiles
Aleppo wont level itself, you know
>>67040379
I wonder what kind of cool shit you can find in all the ex-soviet bunkers and military installations.
Stalker was one my favorite games for having that sort of theme.
>>67040583
They that place isn't exactly abandoned
But yeah I know what you mean
>>67040806
Holy shit this is pleasing and cool
>>67040806
>literal space ships just sitting around getting dusty and rusty
wtf Ivan GO TO MARS OR SOMETHING, JESUS FUCK!
>>67040848
