Insane but typical pro Russian smear campaign by a failure and wannabe journalist Damaschin Silviu. Both Smokehouse and Taproom where for years the most popular well run places in Chisinau and they stayed open as long as they code till the Pandemic nearly closed down the city and many restaurants.
But what did David do, he turned it into a Ukrainian War distribution center of tons of donated clothing and living supplies working day and night for the nearly 100,000 Ukrainian war refugees that came with nothing for sanctuary in Moldova (while paying rent and no income). To many of us he represented American care and dedication.
As to Moldova Matters, I was a former freelance war correspondent and have read every one of his articles since day one. Such unbiased, fact filled journalism is rare this day. His writings are Pulitzer quality.
Damaschin Silviu is obviously a wannabe newsmucker and probably handsomely paid for his outrageous dribble, but I felt it necessary to let all know what a solid, successful and caring man David Smith and I am proud that he demonstrates what is essential to be a great American in a foreign land. Keep up the amazing work Dave!
