Băsescu cere României să-și pregătească inclusiv forța de atac pentru Neptun Deep și îl desființează pe Miruță: Să nu se mai bage în lucruri pe care nu le știe

Traian Băsescu emphasizes the strategic vulnerability of Romania's Neptun Deep energy project following the discovery of an explosive drone nearby. He argues that Romania must develop its own military capabilities for defense and potential offensive actions, as NATO's Article 5 does not automatically apply to the exclusive economic zone. Băsescu insists that protecting energy installations is primarily a national responsibility and that Romania should not rely solely on NATO for defense. He criticizes Defense Minister Radu Miruță for his handling of the drone incident and stresses the importance of military readiness in safeguarding national interests.
