Right-wing candidate Calin Georgescu has taken the lead in opinion polls ahead of new presidential elections in Romania
Calin Georgescu, the right-wing frontrunner in November’s first round of Romania’s presidential election that was then annulled, is taking the lead ahead of the new balloting scheduled for May, a fresh survey suggests.
A critic of NATO and the EU and a staunch opponent of sending aid to Ukraine, Georgescu topped the first-round vote in November with 22.94%, beating liberal leftist and social democrat candidates. Romania’s Constitutional Court promptly annulled the election ahead of the second-round vote, citing intelligence documents alleging ‘irregularities’ in Georgescu’s performance.
According to the survey conducted by pollster Avangarde, Georgescu is expected not only to retain the leading position but actually to perform better than during the scrapped election. The poll sampled some 1,354 Romanians, representing various social and age groups, and was conducted between January 10 and 16.
Mark, I haven't had the time to fully read this essay and I will, but we are under some weather duress and I have to handle some car issues like getting them started. I found this article very interesting. I haven't completed, but I thought you might find it interesting and it's a take not discussed here and could be food for thought: https://www.unz.com/ishamir/unravelling-the-mystery-of-war/
Thanks for taking the time to respond. I agree on the thought provoking aspect and for me it was a side of the issue that from another perspective i.e. outside of USA yet West oriented to bean interesting and speculative notion of what's taking place and why. the idea we are really closer to Russia and that the UK is the enemy takes us down another path to answer the question why, why are we doing this and for wahat reasons. We all believe we know, but do we really?
But saying "the UK is the enemy" gets you going down the Poe/Luongo rabbit hole where ethnicity and religion don't matter--it's only the Brits, Brits, Brits. City of London = Brits, Brits, Brits, you are ordered not to notice anything else. When Macgregor talks about DC, NY, London you are ordered to cover your ears and shout Brits, Brits, Brits. And then Luongo chimes in with F*ck F*ck F*ck you you you anti-Semite.
I hope all is well down in SoCal. I don't disagree, but then he is a Swede and part of the West that has had it's way for years. Overestimating US power seems consistent across NATO as they've grown accustomed to our protection racket which is showing both it's age and corruption.

Sounds like another “be careful what you wish for” moment, and with an added Trump-bump!

The monetary stuff at the beginning was thought provoking. Much of it I found a bit too speculative.

Yes, I get that, Mark.
Thanks - thought provoking.
Some really great stuff, and others I disagree with. He over estimates US power.
Hi Ray,
I hope all is well down in SoCal. I don't disagree, but then he is a Swede and part of the West that has had it's way for years. Overestimating US power seems consistent across NATO as they've grown accustomed to our protection racket which is showing both it's age and corruption.
CTK, simply gobsmacking article! To quote the great Yeats, “a line may take hours…” Tx for posting!
