https://kingofromania.com/2015/04/30/the-cruelest-month
Still more Romanian than you! Posted by Sam Cel Roman. April 30, 2015. Other than my personal stuff. Klaus Krakdown on Korruption. As I’ve already written about before, Klaus was officially found corrupt multiple times by one of the very same agencies that the European Union insisted upon. How very democratic. And just the perfect person to give a lecture to Romania’s ugly little troll cousins in Moldova about corruption. Is corruption rampant in Moldova? Hell, yes. Captain? Of course. But none of it...

Still more Romanian than you! Meeting and Greeting in Romania. Posted by Sam Cel Roman. September 24, 2010. As I mentioned in my post.
