European democracy at its finest. Cancel elections because the wrong candidate won using Russian interference as justification, then proceed to admit that there is no proof of any interference. 🤣

my understanding is that US/NATO got their courts to cancel their election result because in a major upset, the outsider (rightwing populist) who was against the Ukraine proxy war won. He correctly pointed out Romanian living standards are low and many need to migrate to find work, so why are they spending all that $$ on Ukraine?

Also, they're planning a major NATO base in Romania so can't have hoi polloi fuck that up for them.

The Kogalniceanu base is getting expanded,it was around since I was born

Fair, but key point is that the base is clearly important to NATO.

He won the first round,he was set to win the second,they were banking on Romanian Hillary Clinton (Lasconi),the other candidate who got into the second round to contest the results, she was on the Kamala hopium,so they brought out the mallet

He's also a crank neo legionary (Nazi) who has ties with other neo Nazi orgs and Romanian Prigozhin (Potra)
