@0x815 It will keep getting away with it, as the military is not able to shoot down drones unless we are in a state of war. And if we do that, we might as well activate article 5 - which is something we do not want edit: okay, I might have exaggerated with this one, but that's what they are complaining (as mentioned below). Here's an article from the Romanian version of RFE/RL about this topic. So what is the solution they proposed? Air raid shelters and messages through RO-ALERT on people's smartphones about "objects falling from the sky".

@Minarble ikr, at least that's what the generals in the military are complaining about.

Idk, Romania is just incompetent politicians that are voted by stupid people unable to look for an alternative to fix their problem for 3 decades already and regulations that are half stuck in the previous century, half poorly adapted to modern standards, so I wouldn't be surprised if this would be true.

A post by @raduhossu (still not on fedi fwiw) on Xitter:

3 Shaheds have hit Romanian (NATO)!I tweeted last night after receiving the near real-time images (first imagine) from a friend in Tulcea (Romania) that Izmail (Ukraine) is being hit by russians.

The Ukrainian press picked up the images, asked the Ukrainian authorities if a drone had crashed on Romanian territory and they, at least on sources, confirmed it.

During the day yesterday, several Romanian journalists went to the scene to investigate whether or not what the Ukrainians say is true. Well, guess what?

It is true. I'll be using the images from daylight from Romanian journalists: Don Dorel Alex Alex Costache Dragos Stoian. It's Shahed-136 most likely. There are 3 that fell on Romanian territory.

The government has not given any information about the fact that Romania's territory was AGAIN hit (involuntarily?) by russian drones.

The Romanian government is in an election election mode. Sile t on the subject. The Romanian President is absent, but would have wanted to be NATO Secretary General. The Deputy Secretary General of NATO, Mircea Geoană, who is on the election campaign, is also silent.

@best_username_ever too bad they did.

@MrAlagos Guess I found some reputable news outlets.

Edit: Thanks Captain Obvious for the endorsement (whoever upvoted/liked knows).

It would actually be kinda cool to have something like a feddit.eu server where communities from all across Europe/the EU can reside. But I am not against a move to .org either, except for the fact that they label themselves an English-German speaking community. I am not German. 😁

@EvilCartyen wow, does this thing actually exist? Lol

lemm.ee seems like a better choice indeed. But, you do you.

@0x815 well, if only there was a green deal or something forcing people to buy EVs to consume the extra energy... Oh, wait.

@poVoq our socialists and liberals also defeated* the far-right in EU Elections, but they are just a bunch of corrupt entitled fuckers, holding some conservative views themselves as well. Hope this is not also the case with Portugal.

• the far right literally has more than one party in the parliament, with more MEPs than in the previous legislature!!!

@infeeeee curious, indeed. I think people voted for other smaller hungarian parties as well (or independent people), but these were probably not running for the EU Parliament.

Edit: in Bucharest some people voted for the incumbent mayor for a new term, as well as for the PSD-PNL alliance at the local council and/or the city hall of each sector - both opposing each other politically (🤯). Given this situation, I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar situation for these circumscriptions as well, but with UDMR at the EU parliament. People are just weird.

@VanHalbgott I only live in one country, and that is Romania. But if I were to choose also among the European countries I'm not living in, I think it would be Finland.

@0x815 Something that was known ever since the Marshall Plan. Sadly, high level corruption cancels all these effects...

It's okay because Twitter doesn't have such a widespread use in Europe. We mostly use Facebook where these bots are maybe even more rampant. 🥲

@0x815 that guy will only leave that position in the graveyard, lol.

And for good reason to be honest, he's been really good running our finances and went through no controversies himself. He managed to keep the currency quite stable, even through the rampant inflation from the '90s (and even more so in the last 2 decades), and he also managed to have no political affiliation whatsoever (whether openly or secretly).

Man, Italy should clearly do something with their towers. They're always tilted.

@FatLegTed the alternative in WW2 was much worse than USSR at the time. There was a lot to lose for the West as well had the USSR fallen to the Nazis.

@0x815 fair enough. If USA did it when it invaded Iraq, I cannot see a reason Europe won't do it when it comes for helping Ukraine. If the lunatic comes to the White House, then Europe will be on its own against Russia anyway.

Are Lake Bled images accepted here as well? 😁
