Just some 🇷🇴 guy.
Hadn't heard of the Saur 2 project in a while. Apparently the reason it wasn't picked up: insufficient protection levels. The Romanian army eventually went for the Piranha V. Now they're floating around the idea of reworking the amphibious transport into something up to date.
Motivul real pentru care Armata României a refuzat să cumpere blindate amfibii Saur 2 românești
E cât se poate de clar azi că celebrul blindat amfibiu românesc Saur 2 are nevoie de o modernizare pentru a se actualiza cu cerințele forțelor armate moderne. Însă de ce a eșuat Saur 2 și nu a fost ac...

Millennia-old fortifications discovered the forests of Neamț County, Romania, using drones equipped with LiDAR. This technology surveys hard-to-reach archaeological sites, yielding remarkable results and providing archaeologists with crucial new data.

The answer is from a safe distance, preferably with something separating you and the bear. The Carpathian brown bear is a dangerous animal. Romania also has a significant wolf population, but you're far more likely to get attacked/killed by a bear. Wolves tend to stay away from humans, bears don't.

Seeing a wild bear in Romania is a bucket-list moment, but it’s not as simple as just showing up. We drove the Transfăgărășan Mountain Road and share the best locations, safety advice, and whether a t...

So is he President or Tesla grifter? Sorry, I meant to say Tesla PR representative.

This does nothing to quell opinions saying Musk is the one pulling the strings. On the contrary.

I'm flattered to see so many Kremlin mouthpieces having bad things to say about Romania right now.

Remember: if the Kremlin disagrees with something, it means you did the right thing.

Călin Georgescu banned from running in the Romanian presidential elections. Good money that George Simion, leader of far right party AUR, who has recently been riding on the coattails of CG, will try to take advantage and run himself. In fact I'm sure this outcome is exactly what he was hoping for.

Romanian far right presidential hopeful and recent MAGA darling, Calin Georgescu, had some interesting thing to say about Trump and Vance in a July 19, '24 podcast:

- Trump has transformed MAGA into MIGA (Make Israel Great Again)
- Trump's assassination attempt is "Hollywood PR"
- Vance is a virus.

Tonight's gonna be fun.
The Central Electoral Bureau of Romania has disqualified pro-Russian candidate Călin Georgescu from the elections, citing his anti-democratic stance, following complaints, as reported by Bloomberg. Violent unrest erupted in the capital, with Georgescu’s supporters clashing with police forces.

Funny coming from Gubernator of Amerika Oblast.
This reality show premise of finding the dumbest MFer in the country and making him president isn’t going well. Season 1 sucked. Season 2 is much worse.

The United States right now is what happens when the most powerful country in the world falls prey to a narcissistic, egomaniacal bully that's surrounded by sycophants.

Not even in my darkest thoughts would I have imagined that "the shining city upon a hill" could sink so quickly to such low depths

Let's get one thing straight: the Tate brothers didn't "escape" or "flee". They were allowed to leave due to political pressure from the Trump/Musk administration. That's what the US is now: a country that uses its might to get people accused of sex offences and human trafficking off the hook.

Looking at what's happening in the world, the Trump/Musk presidency, the US siding with Russia at the UN and now the Romanian far right candidate being charged with serious crimes, I'm reminded of that so called Chinese curse:

"May you live in interesting times."

Russian TV already gleeful about far-right candidate Călin Georgescu placing first in the 1st round of the presidential election in Romania. Channel 1 says Georgescu wants the "normalization" of ties with Russia and is skeptical about NATO (min. 10 here): www.1tv.ru/news/issue/2...

If I'd be Ukraine, I'd be very, very worried looking at the elections in Romania.

Romania may not have been in the news much when it comes to supporting Ukraine, with a very secretive approach to its support, but it has been key to keeping 🇺🇦 afloat and in the fight. IMO without 🇷🇴, 🇺🇦 is screwed.

I see this bit of news keeps popping up today. The PM, Ciolacu, is campaigning for the presidency. Romania has elections at the end of the week. This is nothing but an empty promise made to win a few more votes. Nothing regarding Schengen vis-a-vis 🇷🇴 has changed in the last few days.

The problem with having a Romanian wife is that all British protests seem fairly small fry. Oh you're having a farmers' protest are you, tell me when these lads turn up in your capital, storm parliament and get tear gassed over sheepdog regulation (m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/world-n...)

Short of being entirely convincing, Stéphane Foucart's week-end editorial in Le Monde has at least the merit of being intellectually stimulating.
Foucart's narrative revolves around the idea that fascism is reinventing itself as an anti-Green ideology. 1/

This opinion piece strikes me as a bit bubbly and over enthusiastic, but you know what? I do believe Romania stands a good chance of becoming an important destination for those looking for business/career opportunities or for those looking to see out their days in a quiet place in the countryside.
