You are correct. I put those 2 red areas of Moldova over the original mural. I thought people would realise it wasn't the original. Sorry if my assumption confused anyone. I'll do better next time.
"Russian control of Transnistria is guaranteed by a force of around 1500 lightly-armed Russian troops, together with local militias. The Russians also guard the huge Cobasna ammunition dump, one of Europe’s largest, which holds some 22,000 tonnes of aging weapons and ammunition dating from the Soviet era. Cobasna is located just 2 kilometres from the Ukrainian border. It has been estimated that an explosion of the ordinance located at Cobasna would be equivalent to that at Hiroshima."
It's all too easy to interpret your post with the modification and not declaring it it as an attempt for misleading people. I appreciate your feedback and accept your apology. Better assure others commenting here are informed too. It might behoove you to simply remove the post.
Looks like everyone else who replied got the gist of the post. There was no attempt to mislead people. I'm not removing the post because I think Transnistria is the place where all this shit is going to come to a head. Let's see if I'm wrong.
I'm just saying to be upfront and broadcast any manipulations like this. Sad, the credit for exposing your photoshopping seems to be the "gist of the post".
