Russia has escalated tensions by launching strikes near the Romanian border. Romanians recorded groundbreaking videos illustrating the attacks on the port of Reni. Reni lies across the Danube River, and Romania is a crucial member of NATO.
Russian confidence in the precision of their strikes is growing. Moreover, they are outperforming the Ukrainian Air defense. This audacious act sends a shuddering message. Specifically, it targets Romania and its potential efforts in escorting grain ships from the Black Sea.
This situation pinpoints the necessity to remove Russia from the Crimean Peninsula. After all, they pose a persistent threat to countries in the Black Sea along with their shipping routes. However, global responses remain shockingly passive. We watch a country get mercilessly ravaged, yet we don’t raise our voices. So, the question arises, why aren’t we demanding more from our governments?
Unarguably, Russia is subtly calling NATO’s bluff. They take reprehensible actions, all while NATO struggles with an adequate response. Many believe the US and NATO concede too much to Russia for ‘de-escalation .’However, will this approach bring about desired peace or embolden a dangerous adversary? Russian actions near the Romanian border press for immediate consideration and rectification.
