Stanislav Čerkas 🇨🇿🇺🇦🇪🇺Ladies and gentlemen,<br>
surely we all understand that in today’s world, national defense is absolutely essential (thanks <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Ukraine?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a> coflict 😥). On one side, Russia constantly attempts to spark a third world war; on another, we have <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/DonaldTrump?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DonaldTrump</a>’s personal interests; then there’s North Korea ramping up nuclear readiness; and let’s not forget the Chinese totalitarian regime quietly seeking to occupy the South China Sea, Africa, and central Asia.<br>
In the midst of all this chaos and danger, the Czech Republic—right here in the heart of Europe—logically aims to bolster its defense capabilities. We need a strong and unified Europe more than ever before.<br>
<br>
Why Am I Telling You This Now?<br>
Another clear sign that our once-reliable partner can’t be trusted: we were supposed to receive 20 helicopters in the Czech Republic, but about 8 are simply “missing.” Not only that, but the remaining portion will supposedly arrive around 2027/2028. Attention, please: these are not new helicopters but used ones, which likely means they’ll come even later than the newly ordered ones.<br>
How hard can it be to deliver an old helicopter? Apparently so hard that it’ll take up to 3 years! If that’s not a deliberate way to subtly yet steadily weaken Europe, then I don’t know what is. Not even half of the agreed-upon equipment! 🤬<br>
<br>
This is precisely why we need to <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/BoycotUSA?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BoycotUSA</a> and why we should strengthen alliances with reliable partners like <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Canada?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a>. It’s also a prime example of why federalizing the <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/EU?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EU</a> might be a viable path to <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MakeEuropeGreatAgain?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MakeEuropeGreatAgain</a>. Because if you can’t rely on a supposed ally to honor a straightforward contract, it raises serious doubts about their intentions and long-term commitment.<br>
<br>
We’re at a crossroads: <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Europe?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Europe</a> stands amidst multiple global threats—<a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Russia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Russia</a>, North Korea, China, and the unpredictable personal ambitions of <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Trump?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a>. In response, we must ensure that our defense is robust, and our partnerships are with those who genuinely share our values and security goals.<br>
Any thoughts?
