Study: Romanians are pro-US, anti-Russian

[ixulescu]

That's what I was hoping, or expecting, to hear...

Most of the polling agencies are clearly, if not liberal-biased, then just part of the US propaganda machine.

Nurzat is just an ass-trumpet for Sputnik. He's a fun guy but not a source.

What a joke.

We Romanians like to take a jab at Turks for the Ottoman times but the most important reason for the under-development of Romania (and Eastern Europe for that matter) is Russia. There is no illusion in Romania that Russia's intentions in Romania were anything else than nefarious, all the time.

We're also under no illusion that Western Europe will ever defend Eastern Europe from Russia. That's why Poland and Romania are pro-NATO and pro-US when it comes to defense and strategic interests, like energy policies.

Otherwise, economically Romania is firmly pro-EU.

common people think simpler than that, just as I've written. and you're anyway biased since you don't live here, you're an immigrant. we have a problem with Romanians who live abroad, they ruin the voting all the time, most Romanians are in favour of not allowing foreign Romanians to vote anymore. you want to vote, you do it in the country.

the population is enraged we've just payed 4 billion dollars to Americans to buy military shit from them (Romania has been the first country to give 2% of GDP to army when US asked all NATO nations to do it and many won't, because they ain't licking yankee ass like Romanian officials do) - money we could have spent for roads, motorways, schools, health, anything

Romanian military still flies MiGs made in the 60s. With the latest "buying spree" we improved to F-16 made in the 90s lol.

We still spend nothing on military, and never did, at great human expense in times of conflict.

RussiaToday, Sputnik and Antena3, yes, that's what I read/watch. I am a Mircea Badea fan. the country is very divided, I am in no way minority. it's 50-50 all the time between pro-NATO/EU and pro-Romania

Chicago was one of the best places to be--I hated having to leave it, even for a week, before around 1997. It's not the same city now. There's nothing here... The 3 Ms ruined the city: Michigan alumni, Mexicans, Millennials.

Dude it is all of the same chit before 1997. There was Mexicans in Chicago before 1997. Lots of Big Ten Alums, and Yuppies before Millennials.
1986 Chicago Yuppie chit LOL. All of these bars are still there in the Gold Coast.

Romania is more pro-USA than pro-Russia. If they support anyone, it'll be America. They are very pro NATO and pro EU, anti-Hungary, anti-Russia.

Poland, the Baltics, and Romania are seeking a greater American presence in Eastern Europe.

We have much more of an affinity at the end of day then them and even Europe. America has always sought good relations with the Balkans, Baltic and Rumelia. Polish people here especially have been a major part of America and been loyal staunch Americans after they emigrate.

Common people who think that simple should better educate themselves before running their mouth. Most Romanians my age have the immigration experience, including you. And guess what? Romanian diaspora will get a larger representation in the parliament. Even PSD is for that

You sound exactly like that. I recommend you get out of your bubble. PSD is on its last legs.

no, PNL is now below 40% and going lower and PSD is above 25% and going higher. plus USR and PLUS are fighting a lot and it will be nothing left of it, USR is always lower and lower and keeps on losing fans. too bad people like Ponta go publicly against PSD - he would be great back in PSD if he quits that "pro-Europa" nonsense. also a mayor of a big city in Moldova gave up on PSD to join PNL... what a disappointment... Moldova has always voted PSD (the national-socialists gone national-conservatives)
