Rareș Bogdan: Romania Is Not Entering a War. The Mihail Kogălniceanu Base May Be Used by the United States Under the 2005 Agreement

Rareș Bogdan argues that Romania is not entering a war and that the possible use of the Mihail Kogălniceanu Air Base by the United States falls within the legal and strategic framework already established between Bucharest and Washington. He says the 2005 bilateral agreement already allows such use, describes the American and NATO presence in Romania as a security guarantee, and criticizes alarmist narratives that present these developments as evidence that Romania is being drawn into a conflict. The article also highlights his call for clearer public communication from Romanian authorities on security and defense matters.
