Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Honestly, Moldova is too divided in this regard. Not to mention the Transnistria issue. If they were to join the EU in their current state, there's a chance we'd just end up with another Hungary/Slovakia situation. They need much more time IMO.

Also, I thought you believed I was an AI, so I'm not sure why you're replying to me again. Seems a bit silly to keep replying to a robot.

Not quite. The presidential election isn't decided yet and this referendum wasn't directly on joining the EU but on a constitutional amendment that would have required future governments to work towards joining the EU.
