    Romania is not the priority, just like the US is not the priority for Trump and France is not the priority for Le Pen.

      They’re extremely similar, Romania has a slightly lighter blue, but they’re both blue, yellow, and red vertical tricolors. Romania used to be more distinct, with a coat of arms in the middle, but that was removed after the fall of communism. Chad has complained, as they had the flag first, but Romania hasn’t done anything. Maybe this will prompt the new president to do something.

        This kind of dishonesty should be taken out early. Criminalize it.

          Would have confused it with Moldova instead, I suppose.

          But yeah, of the MANY things I can throw at this guy, confusing 🇷🇴 with 🇹🇩 when tapping it on your phone is not it.

          Mostly because I'm pretty sure I've done it myself more than once.

              Grok didn't seem to get why he wrote the flag of Chad though. I wonder if any other LLMs know the answer to that.

                If I were a person wanting to be a far right leader of a country. Romania is one of the last places I would pick. At least when looking back at how the last dictatorial leader of the country left office.

                  Can we talk about how "I am the new president of Romania" in itself is an absolutely stupid phrasing to use when prematurely declaring yourself the winner of an election?

                      The low hanging fruit is the guy 1. Didn't actually win the election 2. And he declared himself president of the wrong country

                      The right wing are such liars that grammatical mistakes are the least of their problems

                        I guess the solution is to send him to Chad to go claim his presidency.

                            If there is a single common thread that ties together the modern hard right upsurge is that it is absolutely fueled by the most transparent of idiocies that by convention we are expected to accept as everyday business

                              Jamaica's flag is pretty unique... Let's all copy theirs..

                                    They are. Romania has a narrower definition of the flag colors though.
