However, Moldova has a horrible army and it's unclear that they'd have a very easy time accomplishing it. Depends rather on what the Russia soldiers do with the truly massive amounts of munitions and arms that they have in "Transdnistria".

Then again, the 0.8% margin of victory was hardly a "mandate." I remember not long ago when a substantial margin of victory, 4, 5, 6%, was necessary. Now, a 40k vote margin of victory is a "mandate" in the US (where a trivially larger one was previously meaningless). I imagine that in Moldova that could be 400 votes that gives mission to pure majoritarianism.
