If Moldavia is taken by Russia, Romania won’t let that happen. They will go all in defending their Moldavian brothers - they have no choice.
Romania being part of NATO, this means all NATO will be forced to follow up.
At that point its 50/50 on the border of WWIII.

Re #13. No, article 5 states the self defense of NATO is invoked only if a NATO member is attacked, not when a NATO member invades a sovereign nation regardless.

Romania attacking another country doesn’t trigger any NATO provision that would compel the other NATO members to join in the conflict.
