Moldovans are Romanian speakers because Moldovans are Romanians. The Republic of Moldova is actually the eastern half of historical Moldavia, with the western half still being part of Romania. The eastern half was stolen by the Soviet Union in 1940.

@charlesiragui2473 Bessarabia was seized by the Russian Empire in 1878, and managed to escape from Russian rule in 1917.

@Robert9-tz1 Move to Russia, then. It's impossible to be both pro-America and pro-Russia.

@mariuspuiu9555 Not really. If Moldova reunites with Romania, they instantly and automatically become part of NATO. No candidate state, no need to be approved by existing members. Because Romania is already a member, and that wouldn't change.

No, the problem is that Russia exists.

@khlaps "Most" meaning the Russians who refuse to just move to Russia if they don't want to be part of Moldova.

@Hardcore_Remixer It's not as if Romania is a left-wing progressive country either.

@mariuspuiu9555 It's not a loophole, it's simply how it works. There is no provision for a country that's already a NATO member to have their membership "put on hold". If such a provision existed, it would've already been used to suspend or outright revoke Hungary's membership. If a NATO member gains new territory, it's still the same country and thus still a NATO member. We already have the precedent for this in German reunification. The same would apply for Romanian reunification. Romania would still be Romania, and thus still a NATO member.

@lucasworktv Logical for any Moldovans who don't want to be annexed by Russia.

@gerihuginn2143 Russia has no capacity to invade right now, because they're too busy trying to conquer Ukraine. And Russia's current military presence in Transnistria amounts to 1500 troops. Not exactly formidable.

Moldova should just deport the Russians back to Russia.
