Don’t talk about the F-35s!

One of the most-controversial decisions of the Fiala government was the signature ofDefense Min. Jana Černochová on an agreement to buy F-35 fighters. Russia is intending toattack Europe if it is allowed to win in Ukraine, according to the Czech government, yet thatsame Czech government froze army salaries so that it could buy attack fighters for deliverylong after Russia might have already invaded Central Europe. One of the objectives of theresolution passed by the ruling coalition last week is to prevent ANO and SPD from raisingsuch issues. Criticism of defense acquisitions could be considered under the resolution tobe support for the “war propaganda of the Russian terrorist regime.” Speaker of the HouseMarkéta Pekarová Adamová said on Czech TV on Sat. that we can see by the outcome of thevote who is on Ukraine’s side and views Russia as the biggest threat to us and the world.Theresolution doesn’t mention Andrej Babiš as a threat; it doesn’t mention the F-35s either.
