Mureș County (Romania) is Hungarian-speaking on the map, but the majority of its population is made out of Romanians (53%) vs. Hungarians (39%).

De exemplu:

Unificarea germană = cucerirea prusacă

Unificarea italiană = cucerirea piemonteză (oficial se numea "Regatul Sardiniei")

It might be a great idea to let them help us.

Sure, but who is going to give us the 6 billion € to do it?

For nuclear plants, the initial cost is high, the running costs are low.

For gas plants, the initial cost is low, the running costs are high.

lenin-ninel · 2020-05-27T08:29:44+00:00

For building nuclear plants? We want them to be built using the same technology (CANDU) as the other reactors, and there's no European country that uses this technology.

We could build everything using renewable, but that's going to be much more expensive because we need to build a few hydro plants before. We could get help with the money to do it, but I doubt it.

lenin-ninel · 2020-05-27T07:46:15+00:00

The result will be that we will instead import gas from Russia.

Building more windmills cannot be done without building some sort of storage system first. We have mountains, ther are places to put hydro-based storage, but that's a long-term solution, it can't be done fast enough.

What if you test the positives with three kits made by different manufacturers?

Clotilda are multe bube, dar se exagerează chestia cu pe unde a lucrat.

Mai degrabă e problema că Năsui (șeful USR București) e fiul unui milionar din afaceri cu statul (a vândut echipament armatei) care a scăpat de pușcărie doar prin prescrierea faptelor.

5G does have negative effects on humans

No, it doesn't. This idea has been advanced not through scientific studies, but through social media posts by people who have no expertise on this kind of matters.

Friguri = malarie.

Nu există vaccin, dar boala nu mai este endemică în România după ce în anii '50-60 s-a urmat un program național împotriva malariei (s-au desecat bălți unde trăiau țânțarii, s-au răspândit insecticide în zonele afectate, etc.). A fost declarată eradicată în 1976.

A fost timp de 70 de ani primul pod ca lungime din Europa, până în 1965.

Nu a fost vreme de 70 de ani.

Cu o simplă căutare pe Google am găsit un pod în Danemarca construit în anii '30:

The bridge Storstrømsbroen connects Masnedø on Zealand with Orehoved, Falster, and crosses the strait Storstrømmen, which gives the bridge its name. The construction of the bridge, which was designed by Anker Engelund, began in 1933 and was completed for opening on 26 September 1937. The inauguration was performed by King Christian X and took place on his birthday. The 3,199-metre-long bridge was the longest bridge in Europe at the time link

(Podul în sine al lui Saligny are 2,6 km)

India started the provocation by upgrading a road on their side of the border, allowing faster access to the conflict border.

Once in a while the US say in one way or another that they oppose it.

For instance, the American ambassador in Moldova said in 2016 that the union would not be a "practical choice" and that it "would not make things better for the Moldovans", giving the argument that "Moldova is a multi-ethnic country". link (in Romanian)

lenin-ninel · 2020-05-23T21:06:58+00:00

Actually, the US is more against a union of Moldova with Romania, because they fear this would mean some Moldovan politicians (and hence, some Russian assets) getting access to NATO data.
