Too bad -- what are doing the Romanians in the midst of US-initiated mayhem anyway?
The US needs to learn to fight her own criminal resource wars, instead of relying on the vassal states. Empire has its costs, the Romans learned that some time ago, ... but 'LMAO god's own country' resists learning.
