Romania just held its second attempt at the first round of presidential elections, after the initial round was invalidated due to Russian interference. Looks like the Romanians are having some major déjà vu.

Both elections yielded an unqualified pro-Russian candidate surging to the top. Translation: the Russians are meddling, and frankly don’t care about hiding it. The question that must be asked here is why do the Russians care so much about Romania?

Think of Romania as the next steppingstone after Ukraine. If the Russians prevail in the Ukraine War, the next logical target would be fortifying the southwestern flank – aka Romania. The scariest part of all this is that Russia already has a political foothold in all the other countries in the region. Should they push into Romania, they will be at the doorstep of Vienna.
