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.”

      If they were failing so badly, Ukraine would have regained its territory including Crimea by now. While we all want Ukraine to succeed and win, you have to be realistic, how ever badly the orcs are doing, they are still in Ukraine and are very slowly pushing westwards on some fronts.

      Lets be realistic and keep giving Ukraine the ammunition, arms and tools they need to push the orcs out instead of just calling them stupid and incompetent. That doesn’t help Ukraine to win.

        I mean… I dont really know how much ammo i can contribute…

        But yeah, they’ve been there a while now. I dont watch tv or follow news so I dont know about any territory taken. Your point about supporting Ukraine is well taken.
