What’s new in Romania, Rady? What’s the situation like on the ground? Sentiment with Zelenski in DC asking Biden for more… 100 billion doesn’t go as far as it used to.
Everything's cool around here for now, the panic moment we had 10 months ago cleared out by the summer, thanks for asking, mafra. But the situation is still bad, first of all for Ukraine because Putin doesn't really care about how many casualties his army is suffering, he's just pushing for more and more men until Ukraine will become too tired to fight back. Hopefully that will not happen as long as it is being supported.
If however, that happens i am expecting Russia to take on another country and i'm really afraid that his next target would be Moldova - a small country between Romania and Ukraine, heavy influenced by Russia in the past 30 years. However, the previous general elections were won by a pro western group that also has EU and NATO aspirations, more accelerated since the war broke out. Now since historically Moldova and Romania were the same country (until WW II) and both peoples speak the same language, IF Putin decides to invade Moldova next, than the situation will become extremely difficult and sensitive and i wouldn't be surprised if this would be used as a tactic to attract NATO into a more global war.
From my point of view getting at war with NATO is nonsense and Russia has nothing to gain from this, on the other hand their leader is a lunatic and nobody can tell what goes through his mind. Sorry for the off topic.
