Romania finds itself at the epicenter of a political maelstrom, following the unexpected cancellation of its presidential elections on December 6, 2024. The Romanian Constitutional Court cited alleged Russian interference as the rationale behind this drastic move, claiming that the favored candidate, Călin Georgescu, received undue support from Moscow through online channels. However, no concrete evidence has been presented to substantiate these claims, leaving the Romanian populace divided and disillusioned. The situation has taken on an international dimension, with US intelligence sources indicating that former US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and his assistant, James O’Brien, are under investigation for potential connections to this political fiasco. Allegedly, they, alongside former Romanian Foreign Minister Luminița Odobescu, lobbied to influence Romanian authorities to annul the elections. This raises questions about the extent of foreign involvement in Romania’s domestic affairs.​

Blinken did a LOT of unsavoury things, and I'm not surprised if he was involved here too. Nor am I surprised Russia had it's hands right into the elections. They feel twitchy.

Romania is NATO, it's also on the border with Ukraine and Moldova, both Russian involvement hot spots that are not NATO.
