USAID and the Romanian Election – Stop the Steal

Romania. “X” was running hot on the story that now that USAID had been shut down, the country might just have a fair election. Russia Russia Russia may not be the bad guy after all it turns out, but rather Blinken and company. Hot Air ran the headline:

Now That There’s No $ From USAID, Romania May Get the Guy They Voted for the First Time.

A fellow named Georgescu, who was described as ‘far right-wing’ or ‘ultra-nationalist’ (depending on who needed to be scared out of voting for him the most), came charging up from behind and wound up ahead in the first round of voting.

He didn’t want a NATO mega military base in his country. He wanted peace. Enter the world of Blinken and Samantha Power.

YouTube offered this:

If They Use Romania As a Door For War, What’s Next?

In what can best be described as a “whodunnit”, The American Spectator gives us the tale not to be missed.

Another low point in Biden secretary of state Antony Blinken’s career.

A pernicious political crisis was ignited in Romania by the Biden administration in early December when Secretary of State Antony Blinken insisted “large-scale and well-funded” Russian interference was to blame for the unexpected victory of a distinctly Trump-like presidential candidate, Călin Georgescu, in the first round of Romania’s presidential election. (READ MORE: Romania’s Trump Explained: Rejecting ‘Forever Wars’ and Woke Politics)

In a bewildering act of slavish fealty, Bucharest promptly canceled the election’s final round, scheduled for Dec. 8, already underway in polling stations worldwide — despite assurance from the national authority overseeing cybersecurity that the election’s first round was clean.

It was an unprecedented and patently undemocratic move, affirmed by an unpopular incumbent, President Klaus Iohannis, who supported the decision with “declassified” documents alleging manipulation by a “state actor” via TikTok. (Iohannis has held office since 2014. The Romanian constitution says his mandate can only be extended beyond two five-year terms, by law, in cases of war or disaster.)

NATO’s Goals

What many increasingly link is Romania’s geographic position bordering Ukraine, both north and at the Black Sea, and NATO’s intention to control Romanian politics to maximize its use of the country.

Ominously titled “How Romania is Preparing for Full Scale War Against Russia,” a YouTube video posted on Dec. 22 explains how “Romania might become NATO’s secret weapon” on behalf of Ukraine. Produced by The Military Show with 1.29 million subscribers, it seems to be a reputable source and it’s getting wide circulation in Romania.

The video reports on the country’s major weapons purchases as part of a plan to turn the country into an aerial powerhouse. New missile batteries and mobile command centers will mean 16 missiles can be launched at once. New construction on what will soon be the biggest air base in Europe will support over 10,000 NATO troops and their families on Ukraine’s border.

Notes from the video:

Eastern Europe stands at a critical juncture as the Ukraine war intensifies. Romania, once overshadowed, is emerging as NATO’s potential ace. With strategic Black Sea access and shared borders with Ukraine, Romania is transforming its defenses. From cutting-edge naval strike systems to acquiring F-16s and F-35s, and expanding NATO’s largest air base, Romania is bolstering its military capabilities.

Latest Update:

Romania’s centrist president, Klaus Iohannis, announced his resignation in an emotional address Monday, saying he was stepping down to “spare” his country from the crisis that followed a canceled presidential vote last year. 

And that is the best of the swamp.
