That sounds like an even better reason to vote against them than the original bad decision already was. It's always the coverup that gets them in the end, isn't it?

If you can't operate in compliance with local law, you don't get to operate at all. Welcome to the EU where laws still matter, Elon.

I suppose doubling down on being an utter useless fool is still easier on the ego than owning up to having negligently murdered your own daughter.

So he's a coward too. Lovely.

In a startling display of irony, 2 tonnes of CO2 was produced powering the GPU's required to synthesize this image.

They won’t have your back when push comes to shove.

Not only that, but every historical example I can think of clearly demonstrates that Russia have only ever considered any nation falling under their sway as vassals, at best - a resource to be exploited for Russian gain. I know of no evidence that Russia even understands the notion of win-win situations; they've always been transactional zero-sum gamers. No wonder Trump likes them so much.

Up until recently, that was - from the perspective of a minor state caught between large players - one of the primary differences between the US on one hand and Russian on the other, with China waffling somewhere in between. Sure, the US threw their weight around too, but at least they had the good sense to ensure that those on their team got sufficient benefits out of it that people wanted to stay on the team.

Then Trump went and fucked that up royally seven ways to Sunday.

Now, if someone wants free trade and a chance of peace and prosperity, there's really only the EU left.

That's some absolutely amazing woodwork. The Dane in me really appreciates the interior minimalism too.

Thank you for taking the time to provide the rest of us with an insightful local perspective on things. I try to keep appraised, but I think you'll agree that there's a lot going on all over the place at the moment. That just makes this kind of summary by a local all the more valuable.

Regardless, know that a lot of us hope that things turn out for the best for Romania. And by best, I naturally mean you guys being successful in resisting and rejecting the usual tiresomely predictable Russian manipulations. There's no viable future to be found in that sphere of influence, such as it is.

While we're on that subject, how are things going in Romania at the moment what with the election annulment and all?

Those of us who may be poor but aren't poorly educated really don't need to have this one explained to us.

A lot of things could happen. Maybe Unicorns will be discovered in the wild tomorrow, which would be about as likely as this happening.

Oh, you magnificent bastard!
