Germany's Scholz in Bucharest to shore up support for Romania, Moldova

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited Romania on Monday to underscore Western support for a key NATO ally that borders Ukraine and also for neighbouring Moldova, which has looked especially vulnerable since Russia's invasion last year.

Moldovan President Maia Sandu, who accuses Moscow of fomenting unrest in her tiny former Soviet republic, met Scholz and Romanian President Klaus Iohannis in Bucharest, pressing for support to speed up Moldova's accession to the European Union.

Russia denies causing trouble in Moldova, which is situated between Romania and Ukraine.

Scholz's visit to Bucharest comes a day after German armsmaker Rheinmetall (RHMG.DE) announced it was setting up a maintenance and logistics hub in northern Romania on the Ukrainian border to service weapons used in Ukraine.

Scholz praised Romania's willingness to take in refugees spilling over the border from the war in Ukraine, adding: "Germany stands firmly by Romania's side."

If Olaf Scholz, Maia Sandu and Klaus Iohannis are your idea of strong, it's no wonder you grovel at the feet of Demented Joe.

Never underestimate the desire of cowardly Neocons to see the gay pride and BLM flags hoisted high atop St. Basil’s Cathedral.

Germany working in German interests.
Germany and Rumania are trading partners.
You’ll find that Germany and Russia most likely share more in common than not.
Time will tell.

“”The war mongers need to go home.””

Print up some flyers in Russian and drop them on the invading foreigners attacking Ukraine.

Go look at a 1930’s map of Europe/Russia.

I have a 1931 Atlas, but it isn’t 1931 today.

"De-dollarization is what the US government gets for decades of bullying, wars based on lies and abusing the privilege of world currency to selfishly enrich American elites on the backs of other nations. The victims join together and say "No more!". Game over." -- Donald J. Trump, 4/4/23.

He's exactly right. And, if you and yours want to oppose Trump, get the tracks so the Trump train can run your sorry, corrupt asses over.

Trump or communism in 2024. It's one or the other. And, there are no other options since many as aren't voting for corrupt neocon foreign policies and politicans that allow rampant illegal immigration, the two holy grails of the swamp.
