Gheorghiță Vlad issued a stark warning about the state of the nation’s army, calling for immediate action.

Romania isn’t prepared for a potential war with Russia and it needs to brace, the country’s defense chief said.

Gheorghiță Vlad, chief of defense of Romania, said, “Yes, the population of Romania, like the entire population of the European Union, of Europe, must be concerned,” in an interview with Europa Liberă România published Thursday.

“If he wins in Ukraine, the main target will be the Republic of Moldova. We will witness tensions in the Western Balkans,” the Romanian general added. “I am more than convinced that President Putin’s policy will escalate in the near future.”

    It might just be various militaries signaling what may come to pass, in the hopes that preparing yourself for war keeps the peace - at least where peace currently lives.

    I’m a bit worried about what Putin might do if Kosovo and Serbia start flaring up again. It’s like dancing around landmines. One false step and the whole of Europe might be mobilised. That will suck, big time.
