The populist conservative-nationalist frontrunner might refuse to allow NATO troops to transit through Romania as part of a conventional intervention in Ukraine if he wins the second round next month.
‘The Mainstream Media is apoplectic since he criticized Romania’s hosting of the US’ missile defense infrastructure and is against perpetuating NATO’s proxy war on Russia through Ukraine…
Interestingly, he was also the diaspora’s favorite, with the added twist being that more in Western Europe voted for him than those in Eastern Europe. This suggests that his appeal is also due to the hope that he’ll bring long-overdue accountability to his infamously corrupt country and finally help its people improve their living standards through more effective economic, financial, and developmental policies.’
I would say that is not really that big a surprise. Despite all MSM in Romania being anti Russia, the popular opinion is not set against Russians and ultimately they are likely to remember the nastiness of Ukrainians during and after the socialist times. Russians came and went in 1956, but the bloody minded and afflicted of superiority complexes Ukrainians stayed in the neighbourhood. Why to die for such a lot, that is also persecuting Romanians in Northern Bucovina? Why to be a target and to die for the aggrandizment of US? These are legitimate questions in everyone's mind in Romania.
And yest the religiosity in Romanians is higher than in Ukraine or Russia, among the highest in EU. Even Ceausescu burried his mother with 7 priests...
Israeli theologian and strategist, Avi Lipman has spoken about the creation of Greater Israel spanning entire northern Hijaz and Syrian desert, from the Euphrates to the Nile, and spoken about "purifying" the Islamic holy city of Madina with Judaising rituals after emptying it of Muslims. It is widely believed that the current war waged by lsrael against Lebanon is part of a scheme to implement this grand vision at the prodding of Bezael Smotrich and Ben Gvir, two hardline faction leaders whose support is crucial to the survival of Netanyahu's coalition goveenment. Taking cue from this trio, Israelite colonist Regent in Ukraine, Zelensky has debarred Ukrainians from practising Christian faith and banned the second largest Christian denomintion ie. the native Ukrainian Orthodox Church in a fit of Ziofascist neo-holocaustic frenzy for forcible Judaisation of the native populace in a runup to establishing Greater Israel 2 under BlackRock occupation on historic Slavic soil. Iranian boats have sporadically been supplying small armaments and short range rockets to the Axis of Resistance in Yemen which says it is fighting a war of survival against Israeli expansionism in Western Hijaz. However, navies of EU countries such as France and Holland, under stewardship of the US navy, have been intercepting those cargo boats in international waters off and on in the Gulf of Oman, Indian Ocean and off the Horn of Africa, and seizing all of the consignment whenever possible. An unspecified number of such boats have been sunk on the high seas, and reports say that Iranian and Arab crew members have even been pushed to their deaths off board to drown in the waters by rogue American seamen. And now, after mutual counsel, the EU and America are suggesting they intend to ship to Ukraine all of the armaments illegally confiscated by them in daylight highway robbery from Iran on the high seas. The point here though is that such precedents have potentially set the legal ground for Russia to follow suit in mounting tactical nuclear strikes on airports, railway wagons, roader trailers etc. in countries such as Romania which are being used for the transit of long range NATO missiles supplied by EU and Britain to Ukraine and destined for launching attacks on strategic targets deep inside Russia.
There was another right wing candidate who got ~13%, potentially giving him about 33%. The Liberals and the SDs will unite, so the competition will be for the "moderates", however the Rumanians describe them. It is going to be very interesting. One thing for sure: they are crapping their pants in Washington, London, Berlin, Paris, and Brussels.
Lol. It seems voters are throwing monkey wrenches into US Empire plans left and right, including right here in the US.
As for this Romanian guy, you said he is devoutly Orthodox. I'll take a wild guess and say he's probably not too happy about Zelensky banning the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
Could this pull down the NATO house of cards? 🤔

Not on its own, no, but it's only one of a thousand similar cuts.

Anyways, fingers crossed.

No way he will do anything about military infrastructure in Romania or go against NATO/ EU wishes .
*If* he wins. I am no expert on Romanian politics, but is Georgescu's support topped out, sort of like Le Pen in France?
That is an honest question, BTW.

"...against perpetuating NATO’s proxy war on Russia through Ukraine."
Snap! Hence the AfD's success in Germany. Perhaps someone might get the message, any day now?
"...aren’t pleased with the government financially supporting Ukrainian refugees."
Same page as AfD, and many, many — by far the overwhelming popular majority of — others.
"...hosting of the previously mentioned US missile defense infrastructure."
Oops!
"...could facilitate the deployment of NATO troops..."
Double ooopss!!
"...the US might therefore be more willing..."
This sounds as if it might imply the willingness of the US is of paramount importance.
