      Well, you have decided to join NATO which is a great move in my books too. 🙂I'm nervously hoping for tighter European cooperation in many fields. That hope might be tiny and fragile but it's nice to have at least some hope.
      PS: The one thing strongly connecting this part of Europe is the knowledge that the world would be much better for people in Suomi, Poland, Ukraine, Czechia, Slovakia and many others if Russia stayed in Russian borders.

      Truth to be told, I'd rather talk about ice-hockey than politics. We've been lucky to have some awesome Czech players here in the Finnish league over the years :)
      Unfortunately, the world is what it is and we better deal with it, I guess.
      Maybe we (the countries you mentioned) could put some pressure on Germany, France, and Italy. These big countries clearly do not see the situation the same way we do. Together we could perhaps help them understand what's at stake here.
      Anyway, in my opinion, Europe as a whole should do much more for Ukraine, be more decisive and stop hiding behind the back of the U.S.

Hope to visit soon. Want to take a trip to Eastern Europe when war is over. Love Ukraine’s military parades on Independence Day. I believe Eastern Europe will become the new center of the western world in a decade or so. The manufacturing from China could be moved there to re industrialize Europe. Germany will not like that. With Ukraine developed, the whole region can get their natural resources from there instead of Russia. Manufacturing from the rest of Eastern Europe. No more reliance on dictators.

      Our soon-to-be ex-president was like "mini Trump", but more intelligent (so he was able to make more mess) and a drunk. He generated so much evil that the country will be licking its wounds for years. He managed to split the nation and with great joy watched how populism made his games easier and it flattered his complexed ego.
      So enormously happy he will be gone in a month.

    President Pavel looks like The Sea Wolf or something. It’s funny how all these ex military generals turn out to be moderates (regarding politics) when they enter the political sphere. I’ve often wondered about this phenomenon throughout history? From Ulysses S Grant and, “Ole’ Bubblehead,” Dwight D Eisenhower to people like this Pavel guy, could it be because people who know about the true cost of war prefer more realistic attitudes to peace and how to win the peace?
