#158 Călin Georgescu - Does Romania's Coup Reveal NATO's Desperation to Push WW3?

Călin Georgescu is a prominent Romanian politician, agronomist, and frontrunner of the contested 2024 Romanian presidential election. He holds a Ph.D. in pedology from the University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, served as the Executive Director of the National Centre for Sustainable Development in Romania from 2000 to 2013, coordinated Romania's National Sustainable Development Strategy, and held positions as Executive Director of the UN Global Sustainable Index Institute and President of the European Research Centre for the Club of Rome. In the 2024 Romanian presidential election, Georgescu emerged as a surprise frontrunner over pro-Western candidate Elena Lasconi, winning the first round with 22.95% of the votes. His campaign focused on national development, sovereignty, and reducing Romania's dependence on imports. The results were then annulled by the sitting Romanian government following allegations of Russian interference and the use of undeclared campaign funds - drawing comparisons to recent political turmoil in the USA.

Been listening for a while and heard Mr. Ryan say today that he reads every review so this is me saying Thank you Mr. Ryan! You’re doing Gods work, exposing darkness and sharing your faith. May God continue to bless you, this show, and the USA. To the Shawn Ryan team - before you had Billy Carson on who is a fraud. I think it would be cool to get Wes Huff on the show and hear about him and his knowledge of faith - it’s fascinating

He said only a couple aircraft responded to the fire while in actuality there were over 80. The way he trivialized the decisions of those team is disrespectful.

Love this show. Love Shawn lived just north of us in Mo, love the open, honest, direct and no holds barred format. Hearing directly from the men and women highlighted on these episodes is humbling, inspirational, sometimes infuriating, thought provoking, values testing, tear jerking, patriotic, and a blessing. Keep the great work! Make more gummies!
