Two pens rest, silent and still,
the ink halts mid-thought—
today’s decision waiting to form
its final word.

I wrote about this development for #ModernDiplomacy : "New beginnings: #Moldova 🇲🇩withdraws from the #Cis"

The decision highlights Moldova’s foreign policy strategy of reducing ties with Russia while increasing engagement w/ European organizations.

Not sure where you got that idea. This has been a well-known issue in defence circles for years.
MODERNDIPLOMACY ALL VIEWS| ALL VOICES We are not talking about the future. When the U.S. sold FA-18 jets to Australia three decades ago, they would not supply the system codes necessary to acquire enemy targets the Australians wanted them to. These jets would only lock on targets the U.S. would allow [2]. Subsequently, the Australian military developed their own Electronic Warfare Self Protection, a Radar Warning Receiver known as ALR-2002 [3]. It has been also claimed that Australian programmers discovered the codes the U.S. would not provide them [41, but both of these indigenous efforts might be the same although announced and interpreted differently. The Australian Defense Minister at the time noted "The radar of our Hornet could not identify most of the aircraft in this region as hostile ... so our frontline fighter could not shoot down people who might be the enemies in this region" [5]. By 2006 Australia's ALR-2002 project was being phased out in favor of Raytheon's ALR-67 (V3) as this unit provided necessary access to radar signatures the Australians required, and it was fully operational whereas the ALR-2002 was still in its qualification stage. For fifteen years, the U.S. arbitrarily denied an ally access to full system capabilities.

Sovereign AI, but Who Watches the State?
The result is a concrete portrait: a country building AI sovereignty not through speeches but through its balance sheet.

Today, the veto remains controversial. Critics argue it undermines UN effectiveness, while defenders say it maintains great power consensus. Over 200 vetos later, this power still shapes our world. #ModernDiplomacy
