So why are they beyond understanding? They are pretty easy to understand, these uprisings have been directed by the EU and Romania as part of a concerted effort to undermine Moldova's governement. The reason; to expand the EU empire, in a deal with Romania, that allowed it to expand as well. Maybe, why internatinal players like the EU are breaching international law is beyond understanding, but history shows, they don't care about that either. They are quite happily take part in bombing and invading countries for their own political ends, so an uprising, well that's on the low point on their scale, so easily understandable.

I agree with Count Cash, the actions are easy to understand, but for different reasons. The fact is, the present Moldovan leadership, although legally elected back in 2001, is the prime reason for which fundamental human rights are disrespected by the police and prosecuter's office there. Apart from their well founded doubts about the election result, young people have had enough of non-transparent and corrupt institutions in Moldova, kept working as they are by the communist government. As for the foreign flags, this also is easy to understand, if we remember that the present day Republic of Moldova was part of Romania before it was stolen from that country by the infamous Molotov-Ribbentrop (aka Hitler-Stalin) pact in 1940, which preceded, or was indeed a fundamental precedent for WW2. A union of Moldova with Romania is symbolic of a redemption of national values and moral integrity, badly damaged not only by the soviet occupation of 45 years, but continually now also by the Moldovan communist regime, who unfortunately are the direct inheritors and the not-so-subtle perpetuators of that legacy. If Russia wishes to see a strong, self-respecting and independent Moldova, which is sincerely friendly to Russia, as well as to other countries in the neighborhood, an element in regional stability, and not a state in danger of disintegrating, it would do well to protect human rights in Moldova, even if this means withdrawing it's (seemingly unconditional) support of the Voronin regime, which is now guilty of gross human rights abuses, including government sanctioned murder, disappearances and torture.
