U.S. can launch attacks from Romanian bases
Under the agreement on the location of U.S. military facilities in Romania, the United States can launch an attack from Romanian territory without knowledge or approval of the Romanian authorities.

Mihai Kogalniceanu in Constanta will be the most important U.S. military base, as it will become the headquarters for the U.S. military's new Eastern European Task Force. The other three locations will be mostly used as training facilities.

According to Ungureanu when the accord was signed, the document includes principles guaranteeing that the facilities cannot be used in purposes contrary to legislation and international treaties Romania is part of.

Under the accord, Romania will give up its jurisdiction over possible offences committed by members of the U.S. military on its territory.

3. They've already begun their war.
The PR just follows.

Troops are a) Not guilty for committing crimes. b) Expected to arrive next summer.

Folks, next summer is 90 days from now.

GREED
