RE: The Trump effect: Romanian president steps down
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
"...Russia wouldn't have it."
Negotiations sort things, eventually. I expect Russia has overriding interests that put Moldova in play. But, what do I know? I don't think there's a place for the Ukraine anymore, and parting it out pays the pot the players play for - and the pot doesn't get to choose who wins it. Zelensky played his cards back in 2014, IMHO, just like Von der Leyen did last year. Trump hasn't even sat down to the table yet. All the wild cards are in the hands of the players that have to play their hands before we see where they're at and the pot gets divvied out, but betting on war means that everyone loses.
What I do see is that geopolitics gives Romania a winning hand.
Edit: Orban needs Romania. He can't be isolated or he'll get crushed by Von der Leyen.
Over here we're not sure about Orban's plans and I've heard people worrying he's on better terms with Donald Trump than we are at the moment.
I suppose a pro-sovereignty President can improve the situation. Hope you don't have long to wait to get one.
