"Romania has had a complex relationship with the United States since World War II."


Considering that Romania was the last nation ever targeted with a unanimous formal Declaration of War by the Congress of the United States (Jun 5th, 1942: 361-0), I would say, "yes, we do have a complex relationship"...

Spent 15 mos. in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The Romanians pulled security on the perimeter, day and night, 24/7. They did a whole lot more patrolling out in the field.

We were warned not to wander into their camp AO unannounced, as they had a reputation to shoot first and ask questions later. Hell yah! That's the attitude I WANT in people hanging it out for me on the perimeter, (while I saw logs in the rack).

Their bootleg vodka was NOT a blue ribbon affair.

They built an awesome looking chapel out of whatever lumber they could scrape together in camp.

Putin has to be pouring down the pepto bismol over this news.

Strategery.

"Relax, Russia. You aren't the Bad Guys any more. It's quite true........we share a common enemy now in radical Islam.

They should welcome our presence and our joint efforts to eradicate this Muslim threat from the face of the earth."

Mm - yeh. And quit feverishly developing new intercontinental weapons to counter America's defences!
