"The
American 'shield' is not a shield - it is meant to attack Russia, and Romania
will turn from a country that is of no interest to Russian missiles into a
target for them. The only winners in the equation are the Americans - but through
the sacrifice of our interests."
We have no illusions that in
the Securitate-run Republic of Romania [reference to people from the former
regime that still run the country], newspaper articles will bring the authorities to their senses. Yet when it comes to plans to turn Romania
into an American ballistic missile base in the event of a Russian attack, it is
our duty to tell these authorities that we aren't stupid - and that in the face
of all the lies put out by "analysts" and "commentators" with
stars on their epaulets, we may temporarily shut our mouths - but they can't stop us
from thinking.
Thus, the first lie about the
“shield” is simply that it's a shield, i.e. an instrument of protection. Anyone
who has served in the army knows that any allegedly defensive weapons can
change in an instant into offensive ones. Moreover, those who possess defensive
weapons aren't exempt from becoming targets for opponents. Therefore, the
American “shield” is not a shield - it is meant to attack Russia, and Romania
will turn from a country that is of no interest to Russian missiles into a
target for them. The only winners in the equation are the Americans - but through
the sacrifice of our interests.
The second lie is that the
“shield” is meant to protect Europe. If that were so, European countries would
be interested, particularly the developed ones (France, Germany, Italy). But as
the NATO command very clearly emphasized, the “shield” is a strictly American
affair. Are the French and Germans led by morons; is Traian Băsescu
the only patriotic president in Europe?
The third lie is that the
“shield” will protect Europe from Iranian missiles. If that were so, the first
country to be interested would have to be Turkey. In terms of military importance,
Turkey is the fourth most important NATO state, and yet it isn't the least
interested in hosting elements of the anti-missile shield. This is a sign that
the so-called Iranian threat doesn't exist. This is a blatant lie meant to lay
public concerns to rest.

So I return to what I said earlier:
To be accepted, the American shield project must be ratified by a referendum. Any
other trick aimed at circumventing the will of the people is unacceptable and
only serves to betray its anti-nationalist nature.
