Gheorghiță Vlad issued a stark warning about the state of the nation’s army, calling for immediate action.

Romania isn’t prepared for a potential war with Russia and it needs to brace, the country’s defense chief said.

Gheorghiță Vlad, chief of defense of Romania, said, “Yes, the population of Romania, like the entire population of the European Union, of Europe, must be concerned,” in an interview with Europa Liberă România published Thursday.

“If he wins in Ukraine, the main target will be the Republic of Moldova. We will witness tensions in the Western Balkans,” the Romanian general added. “I am more than convinced that President Putin’s policy will escalate in the near future.”

    Pretty sure NATO a while ago also said they’d respond with conventional means first, which imo is not a great statement to make and kinda wants me to get nuclear weapon development in my own country going again. I personally don’t trust the UK or France or let alone the US to nuke Russia or whoever over a non nuclear European country. Because that would ultimately mean they’d get nuked in response too and I think this will mean they won’t defend us in such a scenario.
