Well, I specifically mentioned military occupation/interventions in Moldova and Georgia, and you responded that there were Russians there, which I (pretty naturally, I think) understood as justification of said occupation/interventions, meant not to "invade", but to "protect" Russians.

So if my interpretation was wrong, how would you describe Russian "interventions" in the territories I mentioned? Was Russia invaded or attacked by Moldova or Georgia?

Re: okay... (none / 0)

What "military interventions" in Moldova and Georgia are you talking about? I don't know of any recent ones (maybe you mean in 1848-1849, in Moldova?). Therefore, I took you to mean general citizenship rights for ethnic Russians - which all of these states, as well as the supposedly democratic baltic states (who are in the EU for some reason), refuse to grant.
