Bloomberg: In caso di attacco russo, la Romania dovrà combattere per diverse settimane senza il sostegno della NATO

Where Romania and where Russia geographically speaking…

Will NATO send thoughts and prayers though?

There are permanent NATO troops present in Romania. So thats a lie 🙂

>The key challenge remains infrastructure and the speed of troop movement. According to the military, it took 10 days to move French armored vehicles to Romania, with delays at the borders and complicated routing. NATO officials have recognized that these logistical barriers could be fatal in a real conflict.

That’s also the reason an effective network of international communications is so important, possibly without “delays at the borders and complicated routing”.

Where is Russia getting the manpower and equipment from exactly because if they had it to swoop in and crush Romania as it battled alone why can’t it do that to Ukraine.

I’m so sick of this narrative that Russia can do anything we’ve watched for 4 years as all they’ve accomplished is seizing less than a quarter of a country and getting tens of thousands of their guys killed.

And this is before NATO direct involvement which Romania would have from the air instantly as every other NATO mobilized.

And again Russia attacking Romania would me it’s open season on wrecking the bear across a border tens of thousands of kilometers up and down eastern Europe.

So what’s the plan, conquer Ukraine in 3 days for a massive land-operation towards Romania or does Russia intend to let the black sea fleet prepare a naval landing operation?

Apart from this being wrong, vast majority of the effort will be carried out by the air force, and that will respond immediately.

It’s just about moving armored vehicles. Romania will immediately get all the intelligence and air support from its allies. Not much like fighting alone.

Wait, now we’re seeing the possibility of Russia attacking Romania? Have Russian officials expressed such a wish or is it just fearmongering again 🫠 honestly I’m never sure.

You must be pretty stupid to think they’ll attack Romania and risk any NATO harsh complaint letters when Moldova is their prime target in the area and essentially defenseless…

Russia cannot under any circumstances come out ahead from this war(or they’ll do it again once they control another US president), they should be crippled economically to the point they’ll have to start another revolution agains their kleptocracy!

I think people misunderstand what NATO is (even Bloomberg it seems). NATO will come and assist you but its not going to fight a war for you. Its a DEFENSIVE alliance. They fully expect you to be able to withstand a couple hundred little green men type of assault on your own. Once Russia starts hoarding military equipment on your border, we can talk about NATO intervention. This is never going to be, “Get in, losers, Russia attacked us with 10 drones, we need to take Moscow”.

Invade from where is the real question. Even IF a land bridge to Russia was established through Ukrainian territory, Russian logistics would be hopelessly overstretched and suffering constant blows from both Ukrainian artillery and Romanian air forces. Romania is safe af when compared to the Baltics.

Meanwhile the Romanians will be preoccupied with Tchaikovsky and Russian ballet.

Sending troops for reinforcement and providing support are two very different things.

It is indeed possible that it will take some time for reinforcements to arrive, but this article is missing a few key points.

If Ukraine doesn’t fall, the only way for Russia to attack Romania is via a naval invasion or an aerial one. Any sort of invasion would require a lot of build up, so it won’t come as a surprise. So even if the Russian Black Sea Navy, which is a sorry state, could somehow find some ships suitable for an invasion, the Romanian Navy/Airforce would know they are coming. Add to that land defenses like the coastal missile batteries, HIMARS, etc. Any naval invasion would be suicidal. Even more so for an air invasion. They would be shot to pieces before they even fly over Romania’s territorial waters.

If Ukraine falls, hopefully that won’t be the case, then yes, Romania would have to prepare for a potential Russian land invasion. But in that case, I am willing to bet NATO will already station more troops in advance. Because again, a full on invasion would require massive preparations and there is no element of surprise. Plus Romania has a lot of shiny toys like HIMARS, Patriots, etc.

The biggest danger of a Russian invasion is for the Baltics, since they border Russia and don’t have a lot of defensive depth. And Putin might be just crazy enough to try it. But Finland, Poland and Romania are probably nuts that are too tough to crack, especially with the current state of Russia’s military.

While Ukraine is standing Romania is safe

I only hope people of Romania to use their brains and not vote in politicians (traitors truly) who suggest to stop support for Ukraine. Such politicians are either pro Kremlin paid traitors or morons!

Baltics is the region which is in most danger and needs reinforcements
