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.”

            If you’re unable to understand orders and have no combat experience, you’re likely to be a burden and waste of equipment. They don’t have the time to train people or teach them Ukrainian.

              I just thought they would still have a role for you in support or something. I have been abroad on work trips multiple times installing or repairing stuff surrounded by people whose language I don’t speak.
