Interview with the Romanian MoFA
Haliman
I was fortunate enough to get an interview with Green Sidhe, the current Romanian MoFA, to get his thoughts, and an explanation on his most recent article.
Haliman: Hello
Green Sidhe: hi
H: Can we talk? The whole eworld read your article, and I just wanted to get some thoughts
GS: you shall get whatever you need
H: Alright. Why publish the article? The eUS are Romania's allies.
GS: i never said we were not. just not the best ones, and if you noticed there is a flow of "pro-coopertivism" in america now.
H: What do you mean?
GS: i mean that loads of articles talk about how "the way to improve our situation is cooperation" and imho that`s a great step ahead. because, frankly, that was kinda missing in USA.
H: Do you want them to rejoin EDEN?
GS: I want them to share the load. we help them (and we did many many many times), they help us back just as hard not with half a heart
H: So, are you happy with the publicity your article is getting, or were you expecting it?
GS: to be honest, i was expecting it. i'm sad that my message was not received as I intended.
H: What message did you try to send?
GS: I wanted a firm (not patronizing or arrogant) statement that Romania and by extension a few EDEN countries are not very happy with the way things are evolving, and the way USA is approaching our issues (military and others). i didn`t mean it to be an ULTIMATUM or a threat, sadly many saw it as just that.
H: Many PHOENIX members have been saying this will be the end for EDEN; what do you think about that?
GS: Surely it is NOT the end for anything, just some hard love.
H: So all in all, Romania and the US are still bros?
GS: Bros always try to keep each other safe and have their back. if we can do that then we will be entitled to say we are truly brothers, for now we are allies.
H: Thanks for your time Green
GS: a pleasure
Judge how you want, I had to get some more answers.
VOTE AND SUB!

I just happened to find this. But could you get the answer as how he saw it was fit to make a publicity stunt out of Romanian-USA relations? A MoFA should first speak to government officials and then if you want to keep the populace involved you should write an article about it, but only what is appropriate to show to the populace.
He did it the exact opposite way and a MoFA should not act this way.
Green Sindhe is an idiot, by publishing that article he is adding more fuel to the fire, and alienating one of the Top 10 countries.
His statement was very unhelpful. It pours gasoline on the fire.
Although his statement was harsh, and out of line (no better than what the accused Americans say), he like all others are bringing up an interesting point. As Travian said, he also is not acting very MoFA-like 😛
Either or, thanks for the article.
Good for You, Haliman, for the follow-up. Pretty arrogant for a diplomat - this MofA.
vote!
Does he realize that USA is not in EDEN anymore?
"H: Do you want them to rejoin EDEN?
GS: I want them to share the load. we help them (and we did many many many times), they help us back just as hard not with half a heart"
GTFO
I mean, when we were in EDEN, all we heard was bitching. Now we are out of EDEN (and saving a ton of gold, BTW) and all we hear is bitching.
He must be running for CP of Romania or something to pull such a blatant publicity stunt.
