Moldova's government has collapsed and its pro-EU prime minister has stepped down after 18 months of political and economic turbulence.

Europe's poorest country was struggling with "multiple crises", outgoing PM Natalia Gavrilita said on Friday.

With the war raging in neighbouring Ukraine, Moldova has been facing inflation, high energy prices, a refugee influx and Russian aggression.

"China, the world's largest buyer of crude, has opened the door to trading crude oil and natural gas in its local currency, rather than the Dollar"

Moldova still isn't on the Black Sea

But it is on the R. Danube, which through a network of channels would connect them to the Alps and allow an assault on Liechtenstein.

Which would give them access to the Alpentunnel by which it can launch an assault on Luxembourg

what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

The price will be in its local currency instead of the dollar, of course.

To be clear the government change in Moldova is more like an internal reorg of the current ruling party. The new government continues the same agenda as the previous one, and only a few members have changed.

Describing it as a "collapse" is purposefully misleading.
